Christmas in the royal family is a time of togetherness, ultimately it reminds us how lucky we are to have the important things in life
Everyone knows that the British royal family honors centuries-old traditions. This also applies to Christmas celebrations.
Express.co.uk has rounded up four royal options to make your Christmas feel a little more royal.
Christmas cards
The royal family presents their holiday cards to the public every year. According to the royal family’s website, Queen Elizabeth sent out about 750 cards, which she began signing during her summer trips to Balmoral. This simple tradition is easy to bring into your family. Gather your loved ones and take a photo, and then these cards can be sent as congratulations to your family and friends.
Charitable donation
Christmas is a time of togetherness for the royal family, ultimately reminding us how lucky we are to have the important things in life. For the royal family, this sentiment may be at the heart of the Christmas tradition of giving back, as they donate or volunteer to local charities around Windsor each year.
Recently, for example, Princess Kate was pictured with her children George, Charlotte and Louis as they helped pack gift baskets for children less fortunate.
You too can find local charities in your area and help them this Christmas.
Christmas dinner
Christmas Eve is one of those days that every family spends differently. Some choose to treat themselves to a Chinese takeaway before tackling the turkey, while others spend the night dressed in matching pajamas. However, for the royal family, Christmas Eve is a little different. On the night before Christmas, family members gather for a formal dinner, where they arrive in beautiful outfits. The family is also known to exchange stupid jokes while sitting around the table. A tradition that is easy to organize in your family.
Board games
At Christmas time, when the whole family gathers, King Charles III and his relatives love to play charades and board games. They also enjoy solving puzzles and watching films in the ballroom at Sandringham Palace. Agree, it’s easy to organize this in your family for Christmas.
