I think there’s a definite split between secular Christmas and christian Christmas in the U.K. - mainly in terms of dates celebrated (1st - 26th Dec vs 24 Dec - 6th Jan) and “characters”. (🎄🎅🏼elf vs nativity)

Sort out at home. Taking this beauty into work for reasons of sarcasm. “Oh hello, AQA? Just to let you know Bobby wasn’t in when we did cells so please can you make sure you remove all questions from the 2025 papers about cells. Thanks!”
