DECEMBER AND CHRISTMAS

DECEMBER

Christmas plant: Poinsettia

December used to be the tenth month of the Roman year and,it gets its name from the word "decem", which means ten.

In the northern emisphere December marks the beginning of winter, and it is the time of rain, wind and snow.

December is very much associated with Christmas and a lot of December customs and traditions have therefore been swallowed up by the festival: Christmas trees, Christmas carols, presents, Father Christmas, Christmas puddings...

Christmas is a magical season, bringing families and friends together to share customs and traditions. Most people are on holiday in England and stay at home with their family on Christmas day.

The British are very fond of Christmas decoration and Christmas cards are used as part of it.

We can see cards all over the furniture in the living-room, dining-room... British people normally get between 20 and 30 Christmas cards.
