Just before Christmas British people send lots of cards, go to nativity play and carol services.
People decorate their homes with paper decorations, branches of holly. a crib and a Christmas tree.
On Christmas Eve children hang their stockings on the fireplace and leave a glass of sherry for Father Christmas and a carrot for Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer.
The whole family has a large lunch. People usually have roast turkey with potatoes and for dessert a Christmas Pudding and mince pies.
The 26th December is called BOXING DAY, because it is the day when the church gives the money collected in wooden boxes, to the poor.
Happy Christmas (War isover) This song was written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1971. The structure and the melody are from the folk song “Stewball”, about a race horse who drinks too much wine. John Lennon did a remake of this song that was recorded long before. He completely changed the text and the topic. It is about the Vietnam War and it has become a Christmas song. The recording starts with spoken Christmas greetings from Lennon and Ono to their children: Julian and Kyoko. At that time Lennon and Ono didn’t live with them. internal external internal external
