On Christmas Day, I didn't have
a good day because I had to study books to get ready for my exam
which started on Xmas day. Also, at my school we didn't have
any party, we did it almost the same as a normal day. But at
my old school, there was a fun party that happened. In the early
morning when the kids got to school they met 2 Santa Clauses
waiting by the gate. And when they walked in a bit they met lots
of little angles giving some candies to the students. And in
the playground there was a Christmas Tree with lots of presents.
During the assembly, students sang Christmas songs and watched
a play about Mary and Joseph. Really, we don't celebrate
Christmas like Western countries. This is because 95% of Thai
people are Buddhists. We just like having fun. So, that is why
we sometimes celebrate festivals from other countries.
