Christmas
Christmas is the most important annual festival in both Britain and North America. In its origins, it combines the Christian celebration of the birth of Christ, on 25 December, with the ancient tradition of a winter feast during the darkest period of the year.
On Christmas day itself there is usually a celebration with family and friends, which includes a special Christmas meal of roast goose or turkey followed by Christmas pudding which is soaked in brandy and set alight. The table is specially decorated, usually with Christmas crackers, containing paper hats, riddles and other novelties. Port and nuts are often served after the meal. Other Christmas foods are mince pies and a special Christmas cake, a fruit-cake covered in marzipan and icing. Many people listen to the message broadcast by the Queen to people in Britain and the Commonwealth on Christmas day. The following day is called Boxing Day. It was formally the day when servants were given their “Christmas box”, a gift or money from their employer. Many households still give Christmas boxes to the people who deliver their post, milk, newspapers, etc.
