Surnames: British Christmas
British was another one my family did years ago. What I remember was Crackers you pulled and Figgy pudding. So I can't remember to much more. After Christmas the British have boxer day. It is not for the boxer. It is actually boxes that were given out to the serving members of the neighbor like the postman and milkman. I believe it is the day after Christmas but look it up to make sure. Oh yes and the Advent candles. You start 4 Sundays before Christmas and light the same candle for a week and then add a candle every Sunday until Christmas and then you light the white candle for Christ on Christmas day. Well I think that is all I remember. Have fun with making new traditions and memories. I know my family had a lot of fun.
