It’s getting darker, colder and frostier and you’ve all but ruined your favourite pair of trainers getting caught out in a snowstorm… Yep, the Christmas season is upon us!
Spending Christmas away from home doesn’t mean it can’t be fun! We’ve listed our five steps to celebrating Christmas in the UK – for the perfect #ExpatChristmas!
警告 Reading this blog could cause extreme feelings of festivity. You might want to grab yourself a mince pie…
烤肉
如果说英国圣诞节不能缺少什么，那就是传统的圣诞大餐！您将需要：火鸡、馅料、烤土豆、胡萝卜、欧洲防风草、球芽甘蓝、"毯子猪"（即裹着培根的香肠！）、肉汁、蔓越莓酱和面包酱。咻！咻！咻！.....！
关键是什么？时机。如果你能同时准备好所有这些物品，那么你就真的赢得了整个圣诞节。
还饿吗？在享用圣诞大餐后，再配上一份丰盛的圣诞布丁吧！
电视
在英国，圣诞电视是一个传奇！有什么比窝在沙发上狂欢一下午更好的方式呢？他们不仅播放经典的英国圣诞电影，如 节日, 爱 事实上 和 雪人但也有其他英国节目的特辑，如 神秘博士和 英国烘焙大赛.

装饰
Brits usually start decorating in early December and it’s what most people say makes them start to feel truly Christmassy! There’s one very important ingredient; a tree! You can get them cheaply from most supermarkets – just make sure you’ve got the strength to carry it home! Add lights, baubles and presents under the tree for Christmas Day.
空间不够？买一棵小圣诞树，把它放在圣诞餐桌上！
播放列表
没有真正俗气、充满节日气氛的圣诞歌曲阵容，圣诞节是不完整的。从玛丽亚-凯莉的 我的圣诞愿望就是你 到贾斯汀-比伯的 槲寄生下在圣诞节来临之际，让我们一起高声唱出这首歌，传递圣诞的快乐！查看 圣诞将至 playlist on Spotify – you can’t go wrong.
白色圣诞
Now this one, we can’t guarantee, but every year Brits hope that we have a ‘white Christmas’ – meaning that snow falls on Christmas Day! Betting companies even offer odds on the chances of snow falling in each region. Our advice? Keep your fingers crossed and if in doubt, use cotton wool instead!
