CHRISTMAS

Christmas, also known as Noel and ‘Xmas’ for short, takes place every year on the 25th of December- meaning this year it is held on Sunday 25th December 2023. The annual festival is a traditional event celebrated by Christians to remember the birth of Jesus Christ. This has grown in popularity and in modern times is celebrated in the UK by spending the day with family, eating a delicious festive feast and exchanging gifts. Today’s tradition also includes children receiving presents by a man named Santa Claus, who supposedly flies from home to home on his magic sleigh pulled by reindeers throughout the night on Christmas Eve.

Boxing Day is the day after Christmas which originated as a holiday to give gifts to the poor. Now the second day of Christmas time is a renowned shopping holiday, where stores in the UK have a huge Christmas sale with discounted prices that are too good to miss. Make sure to check out our House of Fraser Boxing Day sale in-store and online across a range of clothing, footwear, accessories, homeware, beauty and more for men, women and kids! This year Boxing Day is on Monday 26th December 2023.
