Traditions in England

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and it differs in many ways all around the world, according to the local tradition.

The English enjoy beautiful Christmas music, and their gift giver is called Father Christmas. He wears a long red or green robe, and leaves presents in a stocking on Christmas Eve. However, the gifts are not usually opened until the following afternoon.

The traditional English Christmas dinner is roast turkey with vegetables and sauce, and for dessert, a fruity Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. It is usually eaten at midday on December 25, during daylight.

The day after Christmas is called BOXING DAY because boys used to go round collecting money in day boxes. When the boxes were full, they broke them open.
