examined Ann and asked her a lot of questions. Then he said that it was the flu. He told Ann to

take some medicine three times a day and to stay in bed for four or five days. When Ann's father came home from work, he bought the medicine for her.

Christmas is a home and family celebration in Britain. Those who live away try to get back

home. Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year. As Christmas nears, everyone buys Christmas presents for friends and relatives. Christmas people try to give children everything they want. Children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, families and friends gather for the festivities. Housewives are busy preparing food, and children are sent to bed. They are told that if they don't go to sleep, Father Christmas will not bring them any presents. Then, when they are asleep, the parents come into their bedrooms and leave the presents near their beds, or under the Christmas tree, or in a stocking hanging up somewhere in the room.
