How is Christmas celebrated in England?

Answer 1

A few days before Christmas, families put upChristmas Trees (fir trees with lights) and Christmas Decorations, including holly and mistletoe. Standing under mistletoe is traditionally associated with kissing.
The biggest tradition is for families to meet and have Christmas Lunch together - roast turkey etc. and Christmas Pudding, generally eaten late in the afternoon of Christmas Day. This is a heavy meal and most people eat and drink too much. In the afternoon, some families watch the Queen's Christmas Speech on television. They also play games and watch other television programmes.
Families exchange Christmas Presents on Christmas Day.
Some days earlier they will have sent Christmas Cards.
Children receive presents the night before Christmas delivered by Father Christmas (Santa Claus) on his sleigh drawn by reindeer.
We also sing Christmas Carols.

The holiday may last a few days and always includes BoxingDay (26 December) when the food is probably leftover turkey.
(Back in Victorian times, middle class people gave little presents to their servants in boxes on Boxing Day.)
