Oh, I love Christmas!
I love how steeped it is in history and tradition. How we do the same things each year; the same things that have been done for decades, centuries.
Sometimes even longer.
We sing songs that our grandparents sang, and their grandparents before them. Foods are flavoured with the same spices our ancestors used at Christmas. At church we speak the same words and say the same prayers that have been said for generations.
And I love how you can look through the windows of all the houses on your street and see a Christmas tree, lit with fairy lights and topped with an angel or a star.
Christmas is a time when we have so much in common.
So what a shock it is to discover that other people also have different traditions to us. We marry into families who have vastly different Christmas days to us and it can be overwhelmingly surprising. For some it becomes a real sticking point.
