【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要描述了圣诞节。在平安夜，孩子们都会把长筒袜挂在床头，等待圣诞老人半夜来送衣物，长大了孩子们就知道圣诞老人就是爸爸。大人孩子都喜欢礼物。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Christmas Day, the birthday of Jesus Christ(耶稣)可知圣诞节就是耶稣的生日。故本题正确。

2.细节理解题。根据第一段第二行On Christmas Eve, people usually tell their children to put their stockings at the end of their beds before they go to sleep.可知在平安夜，人们通常要求孩子们在睡前在床头挂长筒袜，而不是本题中的hats（帽子），故本题错误。

3.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Actually(实际上), Father Christmas is children’s father.可知实际上圣诞老人就是孩子的爸爸，故本题正确。In fact和Actually同义：实际上。

4.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings.不但孩子们而且他们的父母也喜欢圣诞长筒袜。本题只说孩子们喜欢是不正确的。Not only ---but also---不但……而且……。

5.细节理解题。根据文章最后一句but it is better to give than to receive(收到)可知给予要比接受更好，本题正好和原文相反，所以是错的。
