We don't really have many mince pies in the states thank god those are the worst. But I do love christmas crackers. I wish we had those. And Father christmas, that's so much more dignified sounding than santa claus. Also boxing day. nd everything being closed for four days if christmas falls on a thursday. That totally sucks about england, can I just say. Things CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be clesed for four days, it's inhuman.
