3. In the UK (or Great Britain), families
often celebrate Christmas together, so
they can watch each other open their
presents!
Most families have a Christmas tree (or
maybe even two!) in their house for
Christmas. The decorating of the tree is
usually a family occasion, with everyone
helping. Christmas trees were first
introduced in the UK by Prince Albert,
the husband of Queen Victoria. Prince
Albert was German, and thought that it
would be good to use one of his ways of
celebrating Christmas in England.
Holly, Ivy and Mistletoe are also used to
decorate homes or other buildings. Most
villages, towns and cities are decorated
with Christmas lights. A famous person
often switches them on. The most
famous Christmas lights in the UK are in
Oxford Street in London. Every year they
get bigger and better and thousands of
people go to watch the big 'switch on'
around the beginning of November.

5. Children believe that Father Christmas or Santa Claus leaves presents in stockings or pillow-cases.
These are normally hung up by the fire or by the children's beds on Christmas Eve. Children sometimes
leave out mince pies, cookies and brandy for milk for Father Christmas to eat and drink when he visits
them.
Children write letters to Father Christmas listing their requests, but sometimes instead of putting them in
the post, the letters are tossed into the fireplace. The draught carries the letters up the chimney and
Father Christmas reads the smoke.

7. In the UK, the main Christmas Meal is usually eaten at lunchtime or
early evening on Christmas Day. It's normally roast turkey, roast
vegetables and 'all the trimmings' which means vegetables like
carrots, peas, stuffing and sometimes bacon and sausages. It's often
served with cranberry sauce and bread sauce. Traditionally, and
before turkey was available, roast beef or goose was the main
Christmas meal. Brussel sprouts is a vegetable also widely preferred
by people in the UK.
8. Dessert is often Christmas pudding. Mince pies and lots of
chocolates are often eaten as well! The dinner table is
decorated with a Christmas cracker for each person. Sometimes
flowers and candles are also put on the table.
9. The UK is also famous for a Christmas cake - some people
love it and some people don't like it at all! It's a rich fruit
cake covered with marzipan and icing, and often topped
with Christmas themed cake decorations like spring of
holly.
