Did you know English people get surprised when they heard about the Spanish people having 12 grapes at midnight in New Year's Eve? The English culture has a lot of traditions as well.
Have you ever heard about Boxing day?
It is celebrated on the 26th of December. It was created when the "leftovers" or unwanted gifts used to be given to the servants by their lords. It is also the day that the servants would get a rest because before and during the Christmas they were busy serving their masters.
Now it is also related to the box from the gifts they receive during Christmas day. The streets are full of empty boxes from those presents to be thrown away, but also the shopping malls are full of people with their boxes with the presents they do not like in order to have them changed.
Look for some information about a particular tradition of any English speaking country and comment below to this post explaining it.
