Here are a few of the things I have loved so far about British Christmas culture:
1. We have sung 'Once in Royal David's City' several times.
2. All the carols have had familiar tunes.
3. Despite celebrating Christmas in the tropics for 10 years, it feels "right" to have Christmas in cold, bitter weather (although I am not sure I can honestly say I love this).
4. Pantomime! Our kids watched one at school on Friday, we watched the CBeebies one Saturday with Granny and Grandpa and we are going to one at the theatre on Weds. I love that we accept men in drag as normal in pantomime in this culture.
5. Planning with family for presents and Christmas dinners.
