How England celebrates Christmas: They

love to decorate Christmas trees and hang up

evergreen branches. One of England’s

customs is mummering. In the Middle Ages,

people called mummers put on masks and

acted out Christmas plays. These plays are

still performed in towns and villages.

The English gift giver is called Father

Christmas. He wears a long red or green

robe,and leaves presents in stockings on

Christmas Eve. However, the gifts are not

usually opened until the following afternoon.

Christmas in England began in

AD596, when St Augustine landed on her

shores with monks who wanted to bring

Christianity to the Anglo Saxons. Father

Christmas delivers them during the night

before Christmas.

making spirits bright
