There is a very big Christmas tree in the centre of London every year, in Trafalgar Square. This is a present from the people of Norway to the people of Great Britain.

On Christmas Eve streets in London are decorated with multicoloured lights, too.

The shops are very busy at Christmas. People want to buy presents for their family and friends (for their nearest and dearest). And they buy a lot of food and drink for all the Christmas parties. People open their presents on Christmas morning and they all are happy with what they get.
