I recommend you this book: GEORGE AND THE DRAGON by Christopher Wormell
It's a funny story about a dragon who is terrifying the country but who has a secret...
My children love the story and we have done a theater play adaptation. 5th grade is preparing it now to be presented sometime during the 3rd term.
You can find here the text of the adaptation:
I made this video about the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. I shared it with my partner schools for our e-Twinning project called TELL ME ABOUT LEGENDS. I hope you like it:
See also this simple Powerpoint which tells the kids about St George. I found it on TES. This site is just great! Please visit TES and register! It's free!
I do visit GENKIENGLISH.COM very often. His materials are really good. Check this out (it's about Halloween):

As for Christmas, here are some songs my pupils certainly enjoy:
