Christmas in London: Christmas in Britain is the most popular holiday and is characterized by traditions dating back hundreds of years. Many Christmas customs originated in Great Britain have been adopted in the USA.
The first Christmas card was sent in 1840 and soon it became something specifically built for Christmas. Around one million Christmas cards are sent each year in the United Kingdom. The decoration of Christmas has also a very early origin, the holly, the mistletoe is associated with rituals that return us to the old age. The habit of kissing a mistletoe is derived from an ancient pagan tradition.
The Christmas tree was popularized by Prince Albert husband of Queen Victoria who introduced one to the royal house in 1840.
