Christmas Day is celebrated in the United Kingdom on December 25. It traditionally celebrates Jesus Christ’s birth but many aspects of this holiday have pagan origins. Christmas is a time for many people to give and receive gifts and prepare special festive meals.

Every year on Thanksgiving, a special service is held at St Paul’s Cathedral in London in commemoration of the American holiday. The ceremony is held primarily for the American community in London, but is open to all.

Traditional items served include:

• A whole turkey.

• Gravy.
• Cranberry sauce for the turkey.
• Mashed potatoes.
