Christmas comes on the 25th of December. Due to Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert the United Kingdom started celebrating what we know as “traditional British Christmas”. Before Queen Victoria British Christmas was based on old pagan traditions and was mainly for adults.

They say the first Christmas tree appeared in Germany in 1521. And it was Prince Albert who brought it to Britain. In 1841 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had a lighted tree at Windsor Castle.

The central decoration at home still remains the Christmas tree.

Each Christmas people lit candles.

It can be on the door or wall

They are regarded as symbols of life.

Poinsettia is the Christmas symbol too.
