CHRISTMAS IN GREAT BRITAIN

• Christmas is probably the most popular family holiday in Great Britain. All preparations for Christmas are usually complete by 24 December. By this time Christmas greeting cards are exchanged and a Christmas tree is decorated. On the Christmas tree you can find long, colourful chains and sparkling trinkets. On the top of a Christmas tree there is a beautiful, big, yellow star. Under the tree you can find a lot of fantastic presents but only if you were good during the whole year.

• Late in the evening people go to church to attend the so-called “midnight mass”. When they come home, children hang up Christmas stocking for presents. They believe that Santa Clause arrives in a sledge drawn by the reindeers, enters every house through the chimney and gives wonderful presents to children. The most popular reindeer is the red-nosed reindeer called Rudolph. All children in Great Britain love Rudolph and sing a song about him.

• When the first star appears in the sky the family starts Christmas dinner. The most popular course is roast turkey and Christmas pudding. After Christmas dinner the whole family gathers together to sing Christmas carols and tell jokes.
