Mariem Sabbar, 2nd AChristmas in Great Britain is the most popular party. The decorations of Christmas are: the tree, the holly... The Christmas Carols are songs of Christmas that groups of singers sing to his neighbours. Children hang an average at the foot of the chimney or at foot of the bed in order that holy Claus fill them. The gifts for the family are placed under the Christmas Tree. The traditional lunch of Christmas consist of roast turkey goose, or chicken with the landfill and roast potatoes. This is followed by of me nod meat and the podding of Christmas flamed with brandy that must contain coins or other happy gifts for the children. Another traditional fact in the Christmas Day is the message of the Queen to the nation, and his diffusion across the radio and the television.

A custom that originated in Southern Europe is the Manger Scene, often referred to by its French name, crèche. This is a small model of the stable where Jesus was born, containing figures of Mary, Joseph, the Infant, shepherds, farm animals, and The Three Wise Men and their gifts. The custom of re-creating the Holy Night is said to have been started by St. Francis of Assisi. On Christmas Eve in 1223 he supposedly set up a stable in a corner of a church in the town of Greccio, Italy, with real persons and animals to represent those of the first Christmas.

The first Christmas Card is believed to have been designed in England in 1843 by an artist named John C. Horsley for a friend, Sir Henry Cole. The design showed a family party, beneath which the words "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You" were inscribed. The practice of sending Christmas cards soon became popular in all English-speaking countries and is most widespread in the United States. The first Christmas postage stamp was issued in Denmark in 1904, and other countries later adopted the idea. Christmas pudding is the dessert traditionally served on Christmas day, although still available and popular throughout the year in Britain. It has its origins in England, and is sometimes known as plum pudding, though this can also refer to other kinds of boiled pudding involving a lot of dried fruit.

The tradition of exchanging Gifts is one of the oldest customs associated with Christmas: it is actually older than the holiday itself. When the date of Christmas was set to fall in December, it was done at least in part to compete with ancient pagan festivals that occurred about the same time. One of those festivals, the Roman New Year—January 1— may have influenced practices associated with the Christian holiday.
