 The decorations do not carry over into the average home. Only the rich can afford a tree, largely because of the ap- preaching more traditional New Years holiday which requires special ornamentation of it's own.
 Christmas morning children will pop out of bed to find a present or two waiting for them Later in the day the family may dine out, perhaps on chi cken. For the children there will be ice cream and cakes.
