Christmas

Hey Meg!
How're you? Thanks for your letter, it was very interesting to read! I've decided to write you how people celebrate Christmas in Great Britain, because I had been there several times with my family and had learnt some traditions.
Christmas Day is a public holiday. Families usually spend the day opening their presents which are often piled around the Christmas tree decorated with tinsel, baubles, fairy lights and etc.
They eat and drink together. The most important meal is Christmas dinner. At the start of the meal, British people often pull a cracker, which contains a small toy, a paper bat, and a joke. The typical meal consists of turkey with potatoes and other vegetables such as carrots and sprouts. In Britain this is followed by Christmas pudding - a sweet pudding containing a lot of dried fruit and often covered with burning brandy. Other traditional foods in Britain include Christmas cake - a cake containing a lot of dried food and usually having a covering of icing made to be eaten at Christmas, and mince pies.
In Britain, the day after Christmas is called Boxing Day and is also a public holiday. A lot of sports take place on Boxing Day and many people now spend time watching sport on television.
Twelve days after Christmas is the time when people are supposed to take down their decorations and remove their Christmas trees. In my opinion, Christmas in Britain are valued much more than in Estonia and I do like it, because Christmas is one of those holidays, which gathers all the family!
Looking forward to your answer!
Anton.
