Hello Sue
Merry christmas but I don't know the exact day of christmas.
In iran people have celebrarion in the first of spring.
I think christmas and norooz are interesting .
I like snows and sometimes I dream of being in a christmas celebration.
In norooz people usually buy new dress and clean their houses because people think with the new year every thing should be new.
I am very curious to know why you cut trees and bring them to your homes.
In iran we usually cook 'sabzi polo mahi' for norooz that is incloud rice and vegetable and fish, do you cook a special food for christmas?
Thank you

Dear Niloofar,
Thank you for remembering a holiday that has great meaning for me. Christmas is always on December 25th by our calendar and celebrates the birth of Jesus. It has become a celebration, not only for Christians, but for almost all Americans who get into the festive mood of the season.
There are church services on Christmas Eve, and it is a time of great gift giving. Many of us send messages of good wishes in the form of Christmas Cards to all our friends and family. I have been baking Christmas cookies and getting ready for Christmas dinner. We always have roast turkey, with bread dressing, mashed potatoes, vegetable dishes and cranberry sauce. Other families have other foods such as Prime Rib of Beef. My husband's mother used to bake 25 different kinds of cookies at Christmas!
Santa Claus, sometimes called St. Nicholas, is the spirit of giving, and he visits during Christmas Eve night and leaves gifts for the children if they are good, and on Christmas morning we all open our gifts from one another.
The Christmas tree is usually a pine tree or a fir and is brought into the house and decorated with lights of all colors and beautiful ornaments. The tree comes from the German tradition or farther back than that, and evergreen trees symbolize everlasting life. Today, many people have fake trees that they use every year because of the waste to the environment.
Our New Year is on January 1st, which is a week after Christmas. That is a time for fireworks, funny hats, loud horns and staying up till midnight to bring the New Year in. People only get off work for one day at Christmas and another day at New Years.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
Your friend,
Sue
