When is Christmas celebrated in the UK?

Christmas in the UK is celebrated on December 25th. However, the Christmas holidays and preparations for the celebration of Christmas begin in November, 4 weeks before the holiday itself, and in some church denominations it begins 40 days before it.

Traditions and customs:

When the clock begins to strike midnight, open the back door of the house and let out the Old Year, and with the last blow let the New Year in the front door.
Lovers under the battle of Big Ben kiss under the mistletoe - it is believed that this will provide them with a strong relationship in the new year.

New Year decoration

Usually, all the Christmas decorations are left in the house from Christmas - these include sprigs of holly, mistletoe and ivy, which are hung over the door, on chandeliers and table lamps. Of course, the elegantly decorated spruce takes center stage.

Present

In the UK, it is not customary to give expensive and large New Year's gifts, as the holiday is considered only a continuation of Christmas. Nevertheless, everyone wants to please each other

Festive table

British New Year's treats include: apple pie, tortillas, apple pudding, roast goose and traditional gingerbread cookies. Housewives also cook turkey with chestnuts and potatoes, stewed Brussels sprouts and meat pies.

That's all, thank you for your attention
