Answer 2

1. No, people in Britain typically celebrate Christmas on December 25th, like much of the Western world. January 7th is the date for Christmas celebrations in some Orthodox Christian traditions, but it is not the common date for Christmas in Britain.

2. Christmas is traditionally celebrated as the day when Jesus Christ was born, not when he died. The focus of Christmas is on the birth of Jesus, which is why it is often referred to as "the birth of Christ."

3. The tradition of putting candles in windows in Britain is often associated with Christmas. This practice has historical and symbolic significance. It is a way to welcome and guide travelers and visitors during the dark winter nights, symbolizing warmth, hospitality, and the hope of the Christmas season.

4. Yes, that's correct. The day before Christmas is commonly referred to as Christmas Eve. It's a special evening when families often come together for festive meals and activities in anticipation of Christmas Day.

5. Children often send letters with their Christmas wishes to Santa Claus or Father Christmas, depending on the British tradition. Santa Claus is a well-known figure associated with gift-giving in many parts of the world, including Britain, while Father Christmas is a more traditional British character who also brings gifts during the Christmas season. Children write these letters expressing their wishes for presents they hope to receive on Christmas Day.
