Christmas in England looks a little different than in the US. From prize-filled crackers to pantomimes, some British traditions may confuse Americans.

The article from MSN discusses nine Christmas traditions in England that might confuse Americans. It highlights the tradition of Christmas crackers, which are not snacks but festive paper tubes that snap when pulled apart, revealing small gifts inside. Another tradition is the Christmas pudding, a dense, fruit-laden dessert often set aflame with brandy before serving. The article also touches on Boxing Day, which follows Christmas Day, where traditionally, the wealthy would give gifts or money to their servants and the poor. Caroling, or singing Christmas songs, is more widespread in England, often involving community gatherings. Additionally, the article mentions the unique practice of "Wassailing," where people sing to apple trees to ensure a good harvest, and the custom of leaving out mince pies for Father Christmas instead of cookies. The tradition of the Royal Christmas Message, where the British monarch addresses the nation, is also noted. Lastly, the article explains the significance of the Christmas pantomime, a theatrical performance with elements of slapstick comedy, audience participation, and often featuring fairy tales or nursery stories, which is a staple of the holiday season in England.
