Celebrating Christmas in England started over one thousand years ago.Christmas celebration began when Christianity arrived on its shores. And as one of the two most holy festivals in the calendar – the other was Easter – Christmas in England was celebrated with solemnity and fasting and prayer, culminating finally in the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Later, in the Middle Ages, Christmas celebrations became bigger. Many kings of England held spectacular Christmas Courts, when they wore their crowns to impress their subjects and accepted oaths of fealty.

 

Today, English Christmas traditions are shared around the world with:

  • Counting down the big day by using an advent calendar

  • Sending Christmas cards that send joyous messages

  • Listening to Christmas music that adds magic

  • The beautifully lit trees and scent of pine

  • The bright lights that brighten the streets and home

  • The whimsical Christmas stocking stuffed full
    of special goodies

Lynottours offers tours to celebrate an old English Christmas in a quaint manor house, or in Scotland at a baronial castle. Adding to the experience are the countrysides populated with a series of ancient villages with scores of narrow country lanes. 

 

 

Christmas Markets:

 

Ever since Charles Dickens penned A Christmas Carol our idea of Christmas has been characterized by glittering trees, fragrant roast Turkey and rousing carols.

 

Another icon of the festive season is the Christmas market, which has been revived in England in recent years and gained huge popularity. England’s Christmasmarkets are held everywhere from town squares to stately homes and offering everything from specialist gifts and traditional toys to festive foodstuff and warming brews.
