Tradition says that Christmas crackers originated in London, England. Thomas J. Smith created them. The year was 1847.
Queen Victoria's husband Albert, who came from Germany saw the trees and bought the tradition to England. The origin of Christmas trees began in Germany in the 16th Century.
One Christmas tradition in England is having people put on masks and perform Christmas Plays. This is called mumming and has been done since the Middle Ages. A traditional dinner in England is eating roasted turkey and having Christmas pudding for desert. Christmas crackers with a silly joke and a paper crown that must be worn during dinner. Mince pies after Christmas pudding. I've never come across mumming.
In England, if follwing tradition you would place a silver sixpence in the pudding.
It is supposed that Father Christmas flies over the people's houses in England and puts presents under the Christmas tree and "goodies" in their fireside stockings. It was supposedly started in England. Hope i helped. SadieRocks11

In Russia, one tradition is to open one present on Christmas Eve.
Father Christmas means Santa Claus and he is to do with Christmas because it is a tradition and he is the one who delivers your presents and make Christmas eve a fun exiting night.
People put up their Christmas trees at different times. It depends on which tradition they follow or personal choice. One tradition is to wait until Christmas Eve day and leave it up until the day after Twelfth Night. One reason for this tradition is to spend the Advent season preparing for Christmas, then put the tree and decorations up to celebrate the feast of Christmas. Another tradition is to put trees up on Saint Nicholas Day, December 6th. Another tradition is to put the trees up on Immaculate Conception Day, December 8th. Then there is the tradition of setting up the tree on December 13th, 12 days before Christmas.
