In the early days of Christianity Christmas was not celebrated as a great event. the first mention of Christmas as the festival refers to the year 200 ad, when theologians in Alexandria decided that Christmas should be celebrated on 20 may. In the 4th century ad the Roman Church tried to unify the celebration in different groups and denominations. having decided to celebrate Christmas on December 25. This date was chosen not by chance — among the pagan cults, which at that time were common, December 25 was celebrated as the birthday of the Sun. St. Cyprian said later, "How wonderfully ordered God that the birth of Christ occurred on the birthday of the Sun".

St. Cyprian said later, "How wonderfully ordered God that the birth of Christ occurred on the birthday of the Sun". The tradition of giving gifts at Christmas is very ancient. Christmas drinks, cards, beautiful boxes with bows — it all came to us from the ancient Romans who exchanged gifts on New Year's day. Holy Eligius in the 7th century warned about the priority of spiritual over physical gifts, but as you can see, some traditions in the truest sense of the word cannot be destroyed.A character named Santa Claus is based on Bishop early Christian Saint Nicholas, who was born in 270 ad in the Turkish village of Patara. It is known that quietly gave money to the poor and gifts. The modern image of Santa Claus is largely based on the 1823 poem "A visit from St Nicholas" (the Visit of Saint Nicholas), also called "the Night before Christmas". To read it in the original can be found here. Our Santa Claus is headed by the cold and frost, and the prototype of it, apparently, was one of the pagan gods, the Great old man of the North, which was notorious for its cold evil disposition.

25 декабря британцы празднуют Рождество. Это большой праздник и есть множество Рождественских традиций в Британии.
Каждый год британцы получают подарок от жителей Норвегии - это большое Рождественское дерево. Оно устанавливается на Трафальгарской площади. Центральные лондонские улицы также встречают Рождество (не дословно). Есть также прекрасный каток в центре cepital (возможно, capital?). Много людей приходят насладиться Рождественскими украшениями и покататься на коньках.
До Рождества группы певцов (хоры) выступают на улицах и площадях. Они собирают деньги для благотворительных целей.
Люди обычно украшают свои деревья в канун Рождества - в день Рождества - это время подарков, гостей, желаний и особых блюд. Британский Рождественский ужин состоит их жареной индейки с морковью и картофелем и Рождественский пуддинг.
