Christmas is the biggest holiday of the year in the United Kingdom. Family gatherings, turkey, presents, and Christmas parties are just some of the things that come to mind when we think about Christmas time in the United Kingdom. Christmas can mean different things to different people. For many people it means eating a lot, spending time with a family, or visiting relatives and friends. For children, it often means presents, presents, and more presents! In the year 440, the Christian church decided that Christ's birth should be celebrated on the 25th of December. Green plants are still used to decorate many British homes in December. At Christmas, many British decorate Christmas trees with shiny balls and flashing lights! Traditionally, the British send Christmas cards to their friends, families, colleagues, classmates, and neighbours in the weeks leading up to the 25th of December. Christmas is traditionally a time for helping other people and giving money to charities. Christmas presents are given to close friends and family.
