It is said that the year of AD 300， there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them.
Today， Father Christmas is an imaginary figure （假想的人）but nearly all young children believe in him. They think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe.
On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year， Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace. He puts presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So when children go to bed that night， they hang up their stockings. And on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course， it’s really their parents who fill the stockings.
