during the cold December
weather. British families
celebrate indoors with decorated
Christmas trees and lights,
creating a cozy atmosphere. The
traditional Christmas dinner
includes roast turkey, stuffing,
roast potatoes, and Christmas
pudding for dessert. Children wait
for Santa Claus to bring presents
on Christmas Eve, leaving
stockings for gifts.
