In England, Christmas traditions include counting down the days until December 25th with advent calendars and candles. Children write letters to Father Christmas asking for presents. On Christmas Eve, carol singers go door to door collecting money for charity while some attend Midnight Mass. Children hang stockings by the fireplace hoping Father Christmas will fill them with presents overnight. On Christmas Day, families eat a feast of roast turkey, potatoes, vegetables and other dishes before watching the Queen's annual speech and spending time with loved ones.
