Christmas Traditions in English Speaking Countries

Christmas Cards on the Mantelpiece

Christmas is the time when people eventually remember their relatives again. They send Christmas cards to everyone and hope to receive lots of cards themselves. When people in English speaking countries receive cards, they put them on the mantelpiece (probably to show visitors how popular they are).

With the internet, writing e-mails has become more popular than sending ‘snail-mail’ cards. That, however, leaves one or the other mantelpiece rather empty at Christmas time.

If you also prefer sending e-mails, check out our ego4u Christmas E-Card. Choose the clothes in which you want Santa to surprise your family and friends.
