<\/div>\n

Allow me on this eve of Christmas Eve to say that England tops USA for Christmas. Hands down. No debate. No question. Not even a possibility of a question. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

1. English radio stations do not play nauseating Christmas music like Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer chestnuts roasting by the open fire jack frost nipping at your nose city sidewalks etc. etc. from the middle of November non stop for weeks.
\n2. English churches have Advent Carol services and good music. With decent choirs.
\n3. Bells ring from church towers mysterious high and free
\n4. Thanksgiving at the end of November has not knocked the edge off the festive season
\n5. Turning on the lights at Oxford Street
\n6. Hamley\u2019s toy store in London
\n7. Once in Royal David\u2019s City to begin the Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings.
\n8. Father Christmas is far more low key and sensible than the larger than life fat elf called Santa Claus who is promoted by the Coca Cola company.
\n9. People still go house to house Christmas carolling. Really. They do.
\n10. School nativity plays feature Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus. Really. They do.
\n11. The Christmas pantomime. \u201cLook behind you!\u201d
\n12. Christmas TV \u2013 do they still run the Two Ronnies and Sound of Music?
\n13. Sherry and mince pies\u2013even if they are dry and stick in your throat.
\n14. Holly and ivy in the village church
\n15. The Christmas Cracker
\n16. The \u00a0Queen\u2019s Speech
\n17. Christmas cake. Dark fruit cake with a layer of marzipan topped with hard icing and miniature fir trees and houses and so forth on the top and a red ribbon around it. Honest.
\n18. Smelly Stilton Cheese and port after Christmas lunch\u2013with those bland \u2018water biscuits\u2019.
\n19. Christmas pudding\u2013yes with a sprig of holly and set alight with brandy
\n20. Far less commercialism and tacky \u2018Christmas Spirit\u2019
\n21. Women don\u2019t wear Christmas sweaters with embroidered snowmen
\n22. Brussels Sprouts
\n23. Wearing paper crowns from the Christmas cracker
\n24. Bad jokes from the Christmas cracker \u2013 \u201cQ: What is green and goes up and down? A: A gooseberry in a lift.\u201d
\n25. The parish Christmas bazaar \u2013 where you can get a hand knitted dolly to cover up your loo roll
\n26. Midnight Mass by candlelight in a medieval church.
\n27. Presents in a pillowcase
\n28. In the Bleak Mid Winter by Christina Rossetti
\n29. It really is the bleak mid winter
\n30. Christmas Cards with pictures of Jesus Mary and Joseph rather than the people who are sending you the card.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
