Burn him in a tub of tar.
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head.
Then we’ll say ol’Pope is dead.
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray! “Christmas in England is a special time for family and share many of the same traditions that I became accustomed to in America. Instead of receiving gifts from Santa Claus, we received them from Father Christmas. The traditional Christmas Day meal is roast turkey with plum pudding.” (Mente, 2014) The Trooping of the Colors is another Holiday celebrated which is when the English celebrate the Queen’s birthday.
