Christmas is fast approaching, meaning the Norfolk field, where Sandringham Castle is located, will be bustling again. Every year, Queen Elizabeth II invites her family to celebrate Christmas. This is one of the few times of the year when all members of the royal family are gathered in the same place. The queen is an iron sovereign, even on vacation, so no one deviates from the rules imposed by Elizabeth II, and especially Christmas presents.
Habits and traditions for hundreds of years
Members of the British Royal Family arrive in Sandringham on the eve of the day and the entire Christmas program is meticulously defined by Queen Elizabeth II, who usually arrives at the palace at least a week in advance. As a result, clockwise, set at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, all members of the royal family, from the sea to the sea, are present in front of the Christmas tree , where the gifts must be open.
Even though in most families gifts are open in the morning, after the arrival of Santa in the royal family, this happens the day before, because Queen wants to dedicate Christmas to faith. Thus, on Christmas morning, the entire British royal family occupies two jobs, including a private one at Sandringham Castle.

On scales, before and after the meal
The most anticipated moments, apart from the opening of the gifts, are the football game that plays every year Princess William and Harry with the employees of Sandringham on the eve of the day, but also the hunt for the men of the family the second day Christmas Women are forbidden because they are not allowed to carry weapons in the presence of the queen. A strange custom, dating back hundreds of years, is weighing family members before and after Christmas, proof that they felt good and enjoyed their food. Obviously, it is optional, but we are convinced that everyone appreciates this pleasure of the Queen of Christmas.
The most anticipated moment: the opening of gifts
The most anticipated Christmas moment is, for the British Royal Family, the same as for everyone of us, opening Christmas presents. Some time before 6 am, all members of the family must leave gifts under the tree without being seen. Here too, there are several rules, three of which can not be broken under any circumstances. First of all, no one should open his gift without permission to Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. Second, each gift must be a gadget, a fun gift, so that members of the royal family always make fun of it. Third, the less expensive the gift, the better.
