Name of Festival: Christmas Day

Activity features: Christmas in London is always dazzling. Whether it rains or it rains in Mao Mao, when the Christmas lights on Oxford Street and Regent Street are on, the whole central London will definitely make you feel a warm festive atmosphere. When the lights of the huge Norwegian Christmas tree in Falgar Square in Dantras were lit, it was a formal announcement that Christmas was coming. British people pay the most attention to eating at Christmas. The food includes roast pig, turkey, Christmas pudding, Christmas minced meat pie and so on. Every family member has a gift, and so do servants. All the presents are delivered on Christmas morning. Some Christmas carolers will sing good news from door to door. They will be invited into the house by their hosts and offered refreshments or small gifts.
