	On Christmas Eve everything is rush and bustle. Offices and public buildings close at one o'clock, but the shops stay open late. Most big cities, especially London, are decoreate with colored lights across the streets and enormous Christmas trees. The main line stations, trains and buses are crowded with poeple traveling from all parts of the countrThey to be at home for Christmas.
	In the homes there is a great air of expectation. The children are also decorating the house with colored lights. Christmas cards - with the words " A Merry Christmas to You " or " Wishing You a Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year", or " With the Compliments of the Season "... - are arranged on shelves, tables and sometimes hung round the walls.
	In small towns and villages one may still see carol - singers who come and stand in front of the house and sing or play Christmas Carols. They expect a Christmas box from a few pennies and coppers upwards in return for their musical efforts. The money collected is then donated to some deserving cause, for example to help destitute old poeple.
