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.
