Many people like to decorate their houses at Christmas time. They decorate the inside of the house and the outside, too. Inside they usually decorate a Christmas tree and the fire-place, if there is one. Outside they place wreaths, ribbons, and colored lights on the door and windows.

In New York, there is a very tall, beautifully decorated Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center at Christmas time. In Washington, there is also a big decorated tree in front of the White House. People come from many cities to admire the trees and the gaily decorated shop windows on the principal avenues of large cities.

Do you like collecting postcards Many people like the pictures on the postcards.
In Britain in the 1890s there was a postcard "popular fashion". People formed clubs and collected and exchanged postcards. Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection.

In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for message, and the whole of the other side could be used for a picture. It was then the simple postcard, as we know, was created.
