Merry Christmas

Christmas Day, December 25, is the most popular holiday in Great Britain. It is a family holiday. Traditionally all relatives and friends give each other presents.

People prepare for this holiday very carefully. They decorate their houses in the traditional way. Christmas trees are set up in houses, in the streets and churches. They are always decorated with fairy lights, angels and small toys.

In Great Britain, the Christmas tree became popular while Queen Victoria ruled the country. Besides the Christmas tree, holly and mistletoe are used to decorate the house. Branches of holly are put up behind pictures and mistletoe is hung over doors.

On the eve of Christmas children hang their stockings, so that Santa Claus could put presents into them: oranges, sweets, nuts and if the child didn't behave properly Santa Claus can put there a piece of coal as punishment.

Santa Claus got his name from a man known as St. Nicolas, who lived in the fourth century. He gave his wealth to the poor and often to children.

Usually children come around in the evening to the front doors and start singing carols and people who live in these houses give children candies, nuts, pies and so on, to thank them for carol singing.

Carol singing is an essential part of Christmas. No church or school is without its carol service. Carols were used for the first time during Christmas in the fifteenth century.

A typical Christmas dinner includes turkey with cranberry sauce and pudding. Usually a coin or two are hidden inside the pudding .

After dinner they go to the sitting room to listen to the Christmas speech of the Queen, shown on TV.

So, Christmas is a merry family holiday for all the people of Great Britain. Christmas comes but once a year.
