They offer free advice on things like this too. You'll be able to make an appointment to see them.
Hopefully this will just be a misunderstanding, but clearly it needs to be sorted.

 It is illegal for them not to pay you and I'm sure they will but the question is when. Anything to do with paper work will take time and things only slow down when it comes to this season. I would talk to your boss to find out what the company plans on doing about this but other then some sort of legal action which would take months I really don't know what there is to do.
Maybe you can borrow money from your parents, just keep track of how much you should get paid so you don't spend too much. That way you will have money for Christmas presents and don't have to worry about getting the money after Christmas or even when it's just too late to really do the shopping.
