Christmas Traditions

There are many ways to celebrate Christmas, and some British people like to go on holiday, go out for lunch to a restaurant, or spend the day with friends. But most people's idea of a

traditional Christmas involves spending a few days with their family - sometimes their extended family.

The day is the most exciting for the children. They may have spent weeks or even months dreaming of the presents they want most. Since the beginning of December, they may have opened their advent calendars, finding a new festive picture, chocolate, or small

gift, to count down each day until 25th December.

On Christmas Eve, they hang up stockings, ready to be filled with presents by Santa Claus. Often a thank you gift of a mince pie and a glass of sherry will be left, as well as a carrot for those

hungry reindeer.

Christmas Day itself will be spent eating lots of goodies, opening presents from loved ones, which have been waiting under the Christmas tree, and for most adults, drinking plenty of booze.

A Christmas lunch of roast turkey with all the trimmings is the main event, complete with crackers, and paper party hats. The meal will finish off with Christmas pudding, a steamed fruit pudding. For some, a church service, or the Queen's speech on television will be part of the family custom. For most, the afternoon and evening will be spent playing board games, or perhaps watching a family film on TV.

After the excitement of the big day, most families are happy to spend Boxing Day quietly enjoying their presents, and eating the Christmas leftovers, for example a turkey curry.

Then we can all forget about Christmas until next year… well until

next September.

Christmas from the China Team

This week we are talking directly to you to tell you all about our

Christmas and New Year Plans.

Firstly, let's hear from Alison, the editor of the China Team, who

is having a family Christmas followed by a wild New Year:

"For New Year, I'm taking a trip to Hamburg in Germany. I am going

to a New Year's party in a restaurant; there'll be a gourmet menu

with champagne and then dancing and fireworks at midnight outside.

In Germany they like to let off fireworks that bang loudly," says

Alison.

Emily, our broadcast assistant, is looking forward to some

traditional Christmas fare with her family after exchanging

presents.

"Before dinner we give each other presents around the Christmas

tree. For dinner we eat all the traditional food such as turkey,

potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and Christmas pudding; and after

dinner we play party games, eat chocolates, sweets, nuts, and

drink wine," says Emily.

But what about our Chinese colleagues, how do they celebrate at

this time of year? Producer Helen has a baby boy, who can

complicate Christmas.

"I'm spending this Christmas with my family at my home in London.

It's going to be my son Leonard's second Christmas, so we have

made a bit of effort putting up a few baby-friendly decorations in

our flat.

"We've got a few pots of poinsettias which are big red flowers

with a very Christmas feel, and there are no prickly needles, so

Leonard is safe from causing disasters," says Helen. Merry

As for our writer Diarmuid, he is flying to France to visit his

family there for a gastronomic yuletide celebration.

"Having Christmas in France means there will be a fantastic

variety of delicious French wines to enjoy. Who knows? I might

even bring some back for the team," he says.
