This is something i've been looking for! Christmas in England. They don't celebrate chritmas like we do home in Sweden. I have done some research about chritsmas in Lonon. They seems to have it all, choirs, Christmas trees, twinkling lights and ice skating! 

In Sweden, everything happends on the 24th, but here in London, everythings happends on the 25th. The santa is coming to town :D

Some differents between english and swedish christmas:

• In England you celebrate on the 25th
• The santa don't enter your house in England, he leaves the presents in a sock.
• Food: In England you often eat turkey, and in sweden we eat ham. (That's the best part of being in London this time of the year. I love turkey soooooo much! I actually eat it on christmas in Sweden too ;P)
• They eat a speciall thing called "mince pies", it's a fruitpie :)
• Insted of drinking "swedish glögg" they are drinking "mulled wine" The different between "glögg" and mulled wine is that "Glögg" is much sweeter. 

SHOPPING - ALL THE DECORATIONS

Trafalgar Square - Christmas tree!

That's a really high and beautilful christmas tree in London. (20 meters high) Imported from Norway. 500 lights in that tree :) I look forward to spend my christmas days here. 

And i think that all the tourist places will be really beautiful on christmas, like Big ben, they have a big christma tree there also. 

If you don't know what big ben is, im going to tell you now. 

It is a big clock in London, everyone I know takes a picture infront of the tower when they're in London.

Some history:

• The clockwork, was done 1845 and the tower was done four years later.
• The clock has only stoped once sence 1856!
• Augustus Pugins is the architect of the tower
• The tower is 96,3 m high!
