Comparing Japan & U.K Chrismas

I'd like to introduce about the difference between Japan and U.K of Chrismas. The first difference is how to spend. While almost Japanese likes to spend with a lover or friend so there is not so a custom to spend with a family. In the first place this how to spend only in Japan whereas the British spend with family. Moreover even if the Briton marries, They spend Christmas in the house of parents of either. Families living the distance apart usually almost gather in the all the members parents' house on 25th. Next, When the Christmas season in the U.K., "Santa hut" called Grotto appears in the shopping centers and children mail the letter which children wrote every request in the post. Children demand to Santa who is called Father Christmas in the U.K. and night of Eve, the children prepare a carrot and mince pie for Santa and reindeer. I thought that the custom was interesting but Japan does not have such post and the custom. Another difference is present. Money is not so spent in the present in some Japanese and There is no present and it eats only the dish. On the other hand, The stocking filler is bought for the family and each one of the relative in Britain and so neither the amount of the present nor the amount of money used for the present are odd. And, the wrapping is done for myself. All wrapping paper sells from all over the town, and buys a terrible amount. The gotten present is put under the Christmas tree, and opened on Christmas Day.
