Christmas in Canada

Christmas in Canada is similar to Christmas in the UK. Your first will be a tough one, what with being away from friends and family (possibly for the first time). Being away from British Christmas telly will be even tougher. Hola may or may not be of use to you. Just sayin'.

There'll be a few Canadian Christmas things that you'll experience during your new life in Canada, a few of which include:

• Bob & Doug McKenzie's 12 Days of Christmas
• Butter tarts
• The TV movie of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer from the 60s
• Watching the world junior hockey championships on boxing day

An eclectic list based wholly on my own experiences (and what came to mind while writing this entry). What is the one thing you think makes a Canadian Christmas?
