Großbritannien/Great Britain well-meaning ghosts is ideal to read underneath the Christmas tree to children aged eight and older, to shorten the time until they can unwrap their Christmas presents. Dickens was a great friend of Christmas even in real life, so a nice little anecdote tells us. Every year, the poet invited his best friends to join him on Christmas Eve for an opulent Christmas dinner. Once the goose was on the table and cosiness had fully unfolded in the warm room with foods aplenty on the table, Dickens got up from his chair, walked to the window and opened it a touch. Steps were then heard outside in the deep snow. A lonely wayfarer obviously was passing by in the cold night and just as he passed underneath the window he stopped, condemned the cold and crossed his arms to keep warm before moving on, grunting and groaning. Only after Dickens had died did his friends find out that he had ordered this freezing wayfarer and paid him, to highlight the homey atmosphere inside with this contrast. The British are equally known for their oddness as for their eccentric ideas – one of which is without a doubt their famous plum pudding, the preparation of which has presumably as many recipes to fall back onto as the entire works of Dickens have pages. One particularly elaborate variety is the Christmas Pud, whose preparation must start no later than on the first of advent, to ensure that it is ready in time for the Christmas dinner. When wanting to wish friends in Great Britain a “Merry Christmas” by phone, it is best not to do so on Christmas Day at 3 o’clock (local time) – as this is traditionally the time the Queen’s Christmas speech is broadcast on BBC. (These days a short version of the speech can even be received as a text message.) Those experiencing British Christmas for the first time might think that New Year’s Eve is part of the celebrations. How else to explain the firework-like popping which goes back to Victorian days with the giving of gifts at Christmas? When taking a closer look one quickly realises that these are not fireworks which explode, but Christmas Crackers, containing tiny tokens inside and rolled-up notes with witty 36 little sayings. The great moment for these Christmas Crackers is right after the actual giving of the gifts. Two people hold either end of the cracking crackers, pull it hard and – peng! Surprise! Typically, an English Christmas carol is sung, such as the one about the red-nosed reindeer. What was it called again? Oh yes: Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer As eccentric as some of the customs of the islanders may appear to us continental Europeans, they are surely not eccentric enough to celebrate a box fight on Boxing Day. So why is this day called Boxing Day in Great Britain? It is much rather named after the box in which formerly the servants collected their Christmas bonus on this day. A shortened formulation of the word Christmas allows British scrabble® players to rid themselves of the letter X, which usually is hard to place, not only at Christmas of course: Xmas. And what is this all about? Quite simple: X is the first letter of the name Christ in Greek. A sister of Befana from jItaly roams around England on January 6: Mari Lwyd, a woman in a white disguise, ringing doorbells, setting a riddle and wanting to be asked one herself. Those who can not come up with a smart brainteaser are bitten by Mari Lwyd and will then have to donate sweets, fruit and nuts to her. Surely she will not decline the leftovers (if any) of the Christmas Pud - see above.
