Lighted trees, mistletoe, and strolling carolers are but a few signs that it’s Christmastime in England.  Families enjoy sending cards and attending delightful Christmas plays of fairy tales called pantomimes.  On December 24 (Christmas Eve), children put out stockings for Father Christmas to fill.

After a  church visit, a gift exchange, and a broadcast message from the queen, Christmas Day culminates in a feast.  This Father Christmas holds the customary end to that festive meal—plum pudding.  The centuries-old dessert, which is often soaked in brandy and set aflame, has many traditions associated with it preparation.

As far back as the 13th century, England’s national identity was tied to the exquisite needlework that was produced there.  The embroidery on this Father Christmas’s robe is reminiscent of the scrollwork and nature motifs of 17th- and 18-century decorative items like samples, clothing, and household cloths.
