    Christmas tradition in Britain

    Christmas is celebrated in Britain on 25 December and this is a long established


    tradition but Christmas trees, lights, decorations and Father Christmas are fairly new
    additions.
    It is traditional for families and houses to display decorations including a tree from 1
    December. Ever green trees have been used to celebrate winter festivals for centuries
    but it was Queen Victoria’s husband, Albert, a German prince, who brought the
    decorated tree to Britain. In those days it was decorated by candles. Tinsel and lights
    were added over the years.
    Each year trees that can be decorated inside houses are brought. It is also popular for
    artificial trees to be used. Trees and decorations stay up until 6 January which is the
    12th day of Christmas and also the Kings day.
    It is also traditional for cities, towns, offices and schools to similarly celebrate
    Christmas.
