  1. Christmas Christmas Celebrations in the UK

  2. Christmas Eve • In England less emphasis is placed on Christmas Eve than in other countries, much more is made of Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Carol singing, midnight church services and going out to the pub are some of the activities that many families enjoy • Night time on Christmas Eve though is a very exciting time for young children. It is the time when Santa or Father Christmas comes. They hang up their stockings and go to sleep. Santa and his elves make all the toys for Christmas in his home in Greenland. On Christmas Eve he piles all of the toys onto his sleigh and rides across the sky with his 9 reindeer The most famous one is Rudolf the who is always the one at the front, to lead the way with his red nose. In the morning when the children wake up they open their stocking presents. Traditionally on Christmas Eve mince pies and sherry are left out for Santa and nowadays carrots are left for his reindeer. Most children are in bed way before midnight waiting for Santa to visit.

  3. CHRISTMAS DAY • Nowadays, the average family gets out of bed just before 8am and is ready to start opening presents by 8.19am. Once the wrapping paper has been torn off all the presents, the family sits down to breakfast , but not before they have tucked into a bit of chocolate. • The families always attend church on Christmas Day. • Unfortunately all the excitement and stress means on Christmas morning the first rows begin, and the average parent ends up losing it, and they start to tell off their children for the first time around . • The strain of cooking the big Christmas dinner sees the average Brit start to sip their first alcoholic. • 27 per cent of families sit down to watch the Queen’s Speech. • Dinner is finally served the people enjoying the traditional turkey with all the trimmings. • All that food and drink means the first person falls asleep at around , with dad being the leader in losing the "staying awake" battle. Almost half of those who do nod off end up annoying the others with their loud snoring. For those who manage to stay awake, family board games are brought out. The families think that spending time with the family is the best thing about Christmas Day.

  4. FOOD.. • Nowadays, if you sit down with a typical British family on Christmas day, the starter is probably going to be prawns or smoked salmon. The main course is more than likely to be turkey, often free-range and the bigger the better, although goose has been making a bit of a comeback, and for the vegetarian in the family a nut roast, vegetables, roasted parsnips, and stuffing with gravy and bread sauce. This is usually followed by Christmas pudding; a rich fruit pudding served with brandy sauce or brandy butter.
