Christmas

Christmas is Britain’s most popular holiday. 

At Christmas people decorate their houses, children sing carols and wait for Santa Claus to put presents in their stockings!

On Christmas Day all the family gather round for the Christmas dinner. 

The Christmas dinner is the main Christmas meal and is traditionally eaten at midday or early afternoon on Christmas Day.

Traditionally each family has roast turkey or goose, Brussels sprouts, roast potatoes, cranberry sauce, rich nutty stuffing, tiny sausages wrapped in bacon (pigs in a blanket) and hot gravy. 

A tradition associated with turkey for Christmas Dinner is the pulling of the wishbone by two people. The person who gets the larger part of the wishbone can then make a wish and wait for it to come true.

Here are some pics from the Christmas Dinner!

Apart from Santa Claus, people also believe in the existence of little creatures, Santa Claus’s helpers, the elves!
