We get tangerines and in the bottom of our stocking every year on Christmas because in the "olden days" citruses were very expensive, especially that time of year since they only grow in warm climates and without planes and other fast modes of transport it was very hard to get citruses to places like Europe/America. When people got tangerines in their stockings on Christmas, it was a very special treat.

the reason mince pies have fruit in them is because during like the medieval times, meats and chickens and stuff were really expensive and this was mid winter so around that time, people were fast running out of their meat stocks which is why they used fruit preserves because they were much cheaper and lasted longer so they could freely use them in the winter - mince pies did originally have mince meat in them though, hence the name

Advent calendars I have had have had chocolate in some years but also I have had ones with Christmas story/pictures in, bracelet charms, toiletries, marshmallows in. Nowadays there are so many. You can get ones with your in, candy in, makeup in, alcohol in. An advent calendar here in uk is technically a small gift every day as a countdown to Christmas Day.

Tangerines in stockings comes from old German traditions. Kids would set out shoes (later becoming stockings) and Santa would come and fill the shoes with nuts if you were good, because in the winter that is mostly what is grown. If you were extra good, you would get a tangerine, which is really special because fresh fruit is hard to find in winter.

Right, I thought the comment section would get their knickers in a twist. Before you rush to correct Connie and insist your 21st Century Christmas experience is way more valid, it’s not cos she’s “wrong,” I think it’s a generational thing and/or she lives in a more traditional family. If you were born in the 90s or noughties, you should know that: 1. Although the Coca Cola ad from the 80s still plays on UK TV, it’s not seen anywhere near as much as the John Lewis Christmas ads which didn’t steal the airwaves until the 2010s. 2. My parents used to have devils on horseback and bread sauce with their Christmas lunch, but they have such awful memories of eating them that they never served them to us. I imagine they’ve just fallen out of fashion for most but they’re still quite popular in the North East. 3. Egg nog is a really really recent discovery. I’ve never tried it but I have many friends who have, mostly from London. 4. If you don’t buy an advent calendar in a supermarket chances are it will still be called a “chocolate calendar.” My parents called it that because big confectionary companies nicked the term “advent calendar” from the US in the 80s (cheers Thatcher). 5. Stockings, i.e. big sewn ones from the supermarket with big presents inside, again, are American and only a fairly recent discovery. You might know this if you’ve seen Mark Corrigan at Christmas on Peep Show. My parents used socks and even their father’s shoes. Also, tangerines and satsumas used to be worth a lot and were rationed during the war. My grandparents also got bananas and plums in their stockings, but I think the tangerine thing has stuck because it’s a symbol of “good old Blighty what single-handedly beat Jerry, what what.” 6. If you didn’t know already, it was a common superstition during my parents’ childhood that if you found a coin in your Christmas pudding you’d be rich for life, and if you found a button you’d never get married. Don’t ask me why. Also, Christmas pudding tastes like dry rocks without brandy butter and you all know it. We have stollen in my family which actually taste nice and we have a lot to thank the rise of Aldi and Lidl for. Hopefully that clears up most of it.

I’m from New Zealand and as a little kid we would always leave beer out for Santa along with biscuits or something and we would leave carrots for the reindeer. Nobody leaves huge Christmas lights just small little ones and we don’t have egg nog and since we don’t have thanksgiving we eat turkey and ham on Christmas. Also most people go shopping on Boxing Day and yes we love Band aid. I could go on for ages but I don’t really want to so if you have any questions about kiwi christmas just reply and ask and I’ll answer.

Irish Christmas involves both turkey and ham, couple different kinds of potatoes, roses chocolates, after eights, chocolate Santas, Christmas films, mince pies, trifle, kids getting up super early, the whole family and selection boxes. Nobody I know opens a present on Christmas Eve. A lot of us do have those massive stockings. RTÉ (the national tv channel) broadcasts Santa's location and what time he's going to arrive in Ireland.

(Everything is homemade because most of my family are chefs/cooks) *We have Christmas crackers and after lunch usually the adults would sit together and have some kind of alcohol while the kids play some kind of games. Then around 3/4pm we would all go home with food and sleep or whatever

As someone who grew up with one British and one American parent: 1. It was only ‘Merry Christmas’ in my house 2. They’re called Advent Calendars (my English grandmother used to send the Cadbury ones) 3. Christmas season starts after Thanksgiving because I grew up in the US. 4. Christmas movies are the Santa Claus movies, Elf, Home Alone, Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer, and Harry Potter 5. The meal depends on the year, sometimes it’s Turkey, sometimes Ham, and sometimes Chicken 6. Stockings often were where the chocolate/candy gifts were put 7. Crackers were pulled on Christmas and New Years in my house 8. It was Santa or Santa Claus but I did hear Father Christmas from the British side of my family

In my house the stocking is where we get our gifts from Santa. We open our stocking first as soon as everyone has woken in the morning. We all sit on my parents bed. Inside there will be things like chocolate coins, underwear/socks, toiletries, a book or dvd, an item of clothing or an accessory, and a few other small items. In my house we often use a pillowcase as a stocking. But nothing is wrapped.
