Same Festival, Different Styles
Christmas is the biggest hliday f the year in many cuntries including the US and the UK. Decrating Christmas trees, giving gifts and singing Christmas sngs are just a few f the traditinal features that the tw natins share. Hwever, just as there are many cultural differences between the tw lands, Christmas is nt exactly the same n bth sides f the Atlantic. The differences range frm language t the way peple celebrate it.
The language f Christmas is nt really the same in the US and the UK. Britns usually say “Happy Christmas” t each ther n this imprtant ccasin. But Americans will lk cnfused r burst ut laughing if yu wish them “Happy Christmas”, as ppsed t “Merry Christmas”. The shrtening f Christmas t “Chrimb”, which is typical in the UK, is almst abslutely unknwn in the US. Anther difference is the name f the white-bearded ld man figure wh delivers presents t children. Britns usually call him “Father Christmas” whereas US peple refer t him nly as “Santa Claus” r simply “Santa”.
A Christmas dinner in the US desn't necessarily have turkey, either. The BBC explained that Americans save that particular representative fd fr Thanksgiving Day, and they ften g fr ham r rast beef n Christmas Day. Fr dessert, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding is ppular in the UK. In the US, hwever, yur pst-meal treat will prbably be ne f the fllwing: pumpkin pie, fruitcake, apple pie, pecan (山核桃) pie, r sweet ptat pie.
During the dinner, Britns make it a habit t put n paper hats and pull a firecracker with diners wh gather tgether. But there is n such ceremny in the US, where paper hats are less cmmn and Christmas crackers are nearly unheard f.
Hwever, ne thing yu will find in the US, but nt in the UK, is that the graceful Christmas decratins yu see in mvies are real. Sme hmewners even turn their huses int light shws t display a jyful atmsphere.
In spite f all thse differences, Christmas remains a significant festival fr bth cuntries when peple shw their religius beliefs and gratitude twards life.

As my parents, they felt reasnably hpeful that an acceptance letter was n its way.
