#1 Go carolling
A tradition that dates back years, singing Christmas carols continues to be one of the quickest ways to get in the festive mood. As we surely all know from Buddy the Elf, singing loudly for all to hear is one of the best ways to spread Christmas cheer.
#2 Visit Santa
Nothing quite says it ‘Christmas is almost here!' than a visit to the big man in red. These are often the memories that children will cherish for years to come! If you cannot visit Santa, writing letters to him is a great way to capture the magic of the season.
#3 Make a gingerbread house
The tradition of making a gingerbread house is one that the entire family can get involved with! These houses are traditionally decorated with icing sugar and confectionery.
#4 Decorate the tree
The fir tree has been a symbol of winter since pre-Christian times. However, Christmas trees are a Germanic tradition originally, becoming fashionable in the UK after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had one.
#5 Watch Christmas movies
After the feast is devoured and the presents have been opened, there is nothing quite like snuggling down to watch a Christmas movie. A glass of mulled wine and the last of the chocolates are also required!

When to send your Christmas and New Year wishes in the post
In many countries, Christmas can be a super busy time of year for the postal service. As a result, they often recommend you post your Christmas and New Year wishes with time to spare. For more information:
USA
Post in the United States usually takes between 7-10 working days. However, we advise that you post your Christmas cards in the first week of December. This ensures they have plenty of time to arrive, but will not come before thanksgiving.
UK
In the UK, aim to post your Christmas cards by the 20th at least. Each year, the Royal Mail announces the specific closing date for the post.
Australia
In Australia, the time that the post takes depends on where you are sending your cards from and where they are going. However, on average it is typically anything between two and six business days.
Canada
In Canada, the post usually takes around four working days. If you are sending within your city, December 20 is usually around the last day for sending cards. However, this changes every year, and you should check online.
