In this country, it's a popular tradition to eat KFC for Christmas! This unique custom started in the 1970s when KFC launched a marketing campaign. Now, many families pre-order KFC buckets for Christmas dinner, making it a festive and widely celebrated meal during the holiday season.

A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement C. Moore

Then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little ____________. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney Saint Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to ____________. He spoke not a word but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk. And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he ____________. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a ____________. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight - “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good __________!”

It was the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a ____________. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And Mama in her kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a ____________, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. When what to my wandering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny ____________. With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick. “Now, Dasher, now Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on Donder and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away, dash away all!”
