Thank you very much for your replies!
According to your replies,people in England normally take 7 days off ,starting from Dec 25th .Do people in some industries begin to spend their holidays earlier,for example from Dec 22nd ?
Different nations and ethnic groups have different customs,Chinese don't have a fixed day like westners to celebrate the new year.New year Eve is usually in January or February.This year 's new year Eve is on February 17th and the holiday usully lasts for about 10 days ,starting from Feb 13th to Febuary 25th .
That is Why I am asking you here if people in England begin to spend their holidays before Christmas .
Thank you!
