It used to be the day when gifts were opened... Not anymore... It's just there because of tradition now.

Is it a stereotype that all Brits take "time for tea"?

So is it christmas day for you?JM

No.

So why is it tradition for you to have one if you don't do anything that day at all?jm

Do the Irish and the Scottish get along? I've heard unsubstantiated rumours that they do and that they don't. Just curious. ermmsrug I see no reason why they wouldn't.

why is it happy christmas and not merry?

It's more the Catholic Irish hate the Protestant Irish (vice versa)

And the Scottish hate the English.

I say Merry; so do most people.

There is no set limit. People have tea if/when they want it... We're not tea obsessed... I rarely drink it.
