christmas day in england - presents in the morning!! i celebrated christmas with my host family, my host grandmother and my host mum's sister. we got up at about 9 o'clock to open santa's presents. then we had breakfast. after breakfast (with salmon, yummy) we went into the living room to open all the other presents - i got many presents, books, chocolates, a onesie (a pj like an infant bodysuit - everyone has got one over here) with gingerbread men on it and some other cool things. after opening the presents, my host parents started cooking. we had a traditional english christmas dinner: turkey and beef with gravy and cranberry sauce, roast potatoes, broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots... i really enjoyed it! then we opened   christmas crackers - an english thing. 

my conclusion: i like english christmas, but nothing is better than swiss christmas - but that might just be because i am more used it :D
