Some people love Christmas and then there's some people who love Christmas: they'll break out the Christmas jumpers the moment Halloween is out the way and count down the days until it's time to unbox the decorations and transform their home into a miniature winter wonderland!

There are lots of traditions families and friends enjoy during the Christmas holidays. There are crackers, for starters. When else can you pull a Christmas cracker with a pal and make it go BANG, then find out who’s the winner of a paper crown, bad joke and a small toy? No other time apart from late December. We mean, you could do this in June, but it wouldn’t feel right wearing a paper hat in the summer sunshine. It’d make your head all sweaty. 

Then there’s all the Christmas songs to sing and dance along to in the kitchen while the snacks are being prepared. You need a few snacks for the amount of festive films you’re going to watch when you’re off school, right? What’s your favourite. We reckon that Elf, The Muppet Christmas Carol and The Christmas Chronicles will be on many people’s must-watch list, even if they’ve enjoyed them before!

And in the run up to the big day, there’s the actual tree to decorate. Whether you pick a fresh tree from a muddy farmyard car park or a fake one from the loft or shed, it’s always fun to hang baubles and tinsel from its branches with your family and friends. Did you know we have the Ancient Egyptian’s to thank for the idea of decorating trees? Well, now you do!
