Could you please help me with these questions about Christmas traditions in the UK?
1. There's no mention of fish or crustaceans in the descriptions of British Christmas Dishes on the internet. Does it mean that fish is not a popular Christmas dish in the UK? (The Polish eat carp, cod or pollock also herrings at Christmas Eve).
2. How exactly may cheese and cold meats be served on Christmas evening? (Is it kind of a dish from which every family member chooses what and how much they want to eat or is it served on separate plates? How are meat and cheese cut? Into slices or special shapes? Does it come with leafy greens or perhaps cooked veggies?)
4. Do you sing carols at the Christmas table?
5. Is there any soup before the main course for Christmas dinner?
6. The sherry, carrots and mince pies- are they consumed/hidden by the parents in the morning on the first day of Christmas so children can think that Father Christmas has consumed them?
7. Would it be possible for you to give an example/examples of Christmas sayings included in Christmas Crackers?
8. Is wearing paper crowns (that fall from Christmas Crackers) obligatory? Should even the Royal Family do it? Is it believed to bring good luck and fortune in the forthcoming year?
9. If the Boxing Day is for bestowing gifts on your friends, does it mean that the British give presents thrice at Christmas?- once they put them into the stocking left by their children on the end of their beds, then they place more expensive gifts beneath their Christmas trees and finally they give a little something to their friends on the Boxing Day. Is that all true? (and correct?)
Thank you

1. There's no mention of fish or crustaceans in the descriptions of British Christmas Dishes on the internet.
Does it mean that fish is not a popular Christmas dish in the UK?
(The Polish eat carp, cod or pollock and also herrings at Christmas Eve).
It is not common at all for us to eat fish! We tend to have turkey or chicken on Christmas Day.
2. How exactly mayare cheese and cold meats (to be) served on Christmas eveningDay?
Or "in the evening on Christmas Day?"
(Is it kind of a dish from which everyCan each family member chooses what and how much they want to eat or is it served on separate plates? How are the meats and cheese cut? Into slices or special shapes? Does it come with leafy greens or perhaps cooked veggies? )
Some people eat leftover meats in the evening with cheese or will save it and eat it over the rest of the Christmas period (until around New Years). People can normal choose if they want leftovers and how much. Cheese and meats are normal just cut into slices but not special shapes. There is not normally vegtables severed with leftover meats or cheeses (when I have Christmas meals, there are not any leftover veggies and extras aren't specially cooked to serve with the leftovers).
4. Do you sing carols at the Christmas table?
I would say that most do not but religious famillies might say prayers before eating.
5. Is there any soup before the main course for Christmas dinner?
Soup is not normally served at Christmas. I would say that starters are not that common at Christmas either (in my experience) unless eating at a restaurant. Sometimes, canapes are served, they are small pieces of food that are often made to look very pretty!
6. The sherry, carrots and mince pies- are they consumed/hidden by the parents in the morning on the first day of Christmas so children can think that Father Christmas has consumed them?
They are normally put out on Christmas Eve (24th) so the children can see that it has been put out. Once the children go to bed, they are then consumed/hidden by the parents so in the morning (25th) the children think Father Christmas has visited.
7. Would it be possible for you to give an example/examples of Christmas sayings included in Christmas Crackers?
Christmas themed jokes are often included in crackers. If you search up "Christmas jokes" you can find lots of lists with Christmas jokes!
8. Is wearing paper crowns (that fall fromcome out of Christmas Crackers) obligatory?
It is not obligatory if someone does not want to but lots of people tend to.
Should even the Royal Family do it?
Is it believed to bring good luck and fortune in the forthcoming year?
There is not a superstition behind it (as far as I know) and people just wear them for fun.
9. If the Boxing Day is for bestowing gifts on your friends, does it mean that the British give presents thrice at Christmas?- once they put them into the stocking left by their children on the end of their beds, then they place more expensive gifts beneath their Christmas trees and finally they give a little something to their friends on the Boxing Day.
We normally only give presents on Christmas day, so only once.
Is that all true?
(and correct? )
Thank you
