I need some help
My English home work is to write a composition about how to prepare the Christmas tree.But I live in China.In my city not so many people celebrate Christmas at home.So I don’t know where to get the tree and where to put the tree.I also don’t know how to decorate the tree and what to put under the tree.
Could you tell me?

PS:Do you put stockings for you pets?

well...

Usually you can get a Christmas tree from a Christmas tree... field.
Im not exactly sure what they are called, but a lot of people pick their Christmas trees.

You decorate the tree with ornaments that you can buy at a Christmas store. Some people have special ornaments that are passed down from their family, or are home-made ornaments.

Most people put gifts that are wrapped in special wrapping paper under-neath the tree.

As for stocking... they can be put up for adults, children, and Pets! Ill bet that a lot of people here on Pet Talk hang stockings for their pets! :D

Well I hope that helps.

hope this helps... You can either buy or get yourself a real evergreen tree or you can buy a fake one... gifts go under the tree wrapped up in christmas wrap and the tree usually goes in a place where the whole family can see it kinda on display...

We usually put the tree in the family room, which is the room we spend the most time in (the one with the TV). ;)

We get our tree from a 'tree lot' - at least that's what we call it! A tree lot to me is a farm where the owner raises pine trees, and cuts them down either ahead of time or while you're waiting. Of course I live in an area with lots of farms and pine trees, and someone who doesn't might have to get their tree from somewhere else.

Oh, yeah and you also need a tree stand, to put the tree in to help it stand up by itself.

We decorate the tree with ornaments. Our ornaments are mostly family heirlooms. You can also get ornaments at a lot of places during the Christmas season - everywhere from grocery stores (Wal-Mart) to card stores (Hallmark). I like to give friends and family members ornaments as Christmas gifts.

Under the tree, my family places presents to each other, wrapped up so they are concealed until Christmas morning, when we open them.

We hang our stocking on the mantle over the fireplace, and fill them with smaller presents, like candy. My family does have stocking for the pets, which we fill with treats and toys. Not everyone does that, though.

Hope that helped! All this talk has me excited about Christmas!
