BRITISH ROYAL CHRISTMAS DO'S AND DON'TS

ROYAL CHRISTMAS DO'S AND DON'TS

The Do's and Don'ts inside the Royal Christmas Party with the Queen at her country home!

DO GIVE GAG GIFTS

~  The royals frown on lavish presents, as they don't want to be seen looking extravagant.  Instead they exchange silly knick-knacks such as an odd toilet seat cover on Christmas Eve.

DON'T BRING CHILDREN

~  Don't bring children to the Christmas luncheon at Sandringham. Guest must be able to hold a knife and fork properly to sit at the main table.

DO ATTEND CHURCH

~  Do attend church on Christmas Day and sometimes twice!

DON'T WORK

~  The Queen do not work.  She takes the day off from her daily Red Box delivery of government papers.  And the only other day she is off is during Easter Sunday.

DO ENJOY TEA TIME

~  Do enjoy an afternoon tea of rich fruitcake.

DON'T ARRIVE LATE ON CHRISTMAS EVE

~  Don't arrive late on Christmas Eve for presents are given around  teatime.  Wrapped gifts are placed on trestle tables in the Red Drawing Room at Sandringham, where the family then dives in.

DO TAKE CAUTION

~  Do take caution if bringing a pet.  Princess Anne's bull terrier once attacked one of her mother's corgis.  The pup later had to be put down because its injuries were so severe.

DO BRING ENOUGH OUTFITS

~  Do bring enough outfits for at least six changes of clothes between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day every 26th of December.
