Christmas

Within moments, Christmas is here, bringing joy, magic, hope and light into the darkness. Christmas is 25th December. Christmas is the second largest holiday in Christianity. We remember the birth of Jesus Christ. People also give presents each other.

Christmas in England:

Christmas preparations will begin as early as October. Doors and windows are decorated with pine branches, candles, walnuts, hazelnuts, and decorated pine trees are placed in the rooms. Santa Claus Day on 6^th December is not celebrated. A traditional Christmas lunch consists of turkey stuffed with chestnuts and vegetables. The most common dessert is Christmas pudding.

26^th December is called Boxing Day. Another unavoidable event of this day is The Queen’s Christmas Message, a tradition of speech dating back to 1932, broadcasted by the BBC and watched by most English people.

As Christmas approaches, people light Advent candles. Their favourite sweet is Christmas candy. The essence of Christmas is love and that we are together. Kids build snowmen when there is snow, they bake gingerbread that they decorate. I love being together at Christmas, baking, cooking and then eating delicious food then watching a movie.

The cosiest things are that fire is crackling in the fireplace and snow is falling.

Merry Christmas for everyone!
