试题分析：这篇短文给我们介绍了圣诞节的由来，以及圣诞节的一些习俗。圣诞节是耶稣诞生的日子，在圣诞节的时候，孩子们都非常开心，因为他们能收到圣诞老人送给他们的礼物。

【1】C 细节理解题。根据短文的开头On Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas Day, children are very happy可知，圣诞节前夜，就是圣诞节之前的那个晚上。我们都知道圣诞节是12月25日，所以圣诞节前夜就是12月24日的晚上。故选C。

【2】B 推理判断题。根据短文第一段中They put their stockings(长袜) at the end of their beds before they go to bed. They want Father Christmas to give some presents可知，孩子们把长袜放在床头，希望圣诞老人能送给他们礼物。由此可推断，圣诞老人会把礼物放在袜子里，故选B。

【3】C 细节理解题。根据短文第一段中He lands on top of each house and comes down the chimney(烟囱) into the fireplace and brings children a lot of presents.可知，圣诞老人是通过烟囱进入到孩子们的家里。故应选C。

【4】D 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中Then they wake up their parents and shout ‘Merry Christmas!’可知，在圣诞节那天，孩子们都起得很早，他们对父母说：圣诞快乐。由此可知选D。

【5】A 细节理解题。根据短文最后一段中When Christ was born, many people gave him presents. So today, people still do the same thing to children.可知，当耶稣出生的时候，人们都送给他礼物，所以人们也送给自己的孩子们礼物。由此可知选A。
