All of us who celebrate Christmas have our own ways of marking the day
. Whether it's family traditions, watching a particular film or visiting certain people or places. OK! spoke to five people about their unique festivities.
Natalie Farrell, 42, from Tunbridge Wells, will be opening her home in Spain to the community this year. Here she tells her story... So far, there are nine of us but I’m expecting more guests. They come from all over the world, including Ukraine, Belgium, Germany and Russia, and they all have their own traditions – so it definitely won’t be a traditional British Christmas.
Instead of turkey, we’ll have slow-cooked beef. We’ll have Brussels sprouts but stir-fried with butter and sage, and I’ll make a sauerkraut with raspberries. I’ve been sugar-free for two years, so I’ll make a keto pudding and truffles. In the afternoon, we’ll organise beach volleyball and then head out on to our roof terrace to watch the sunset with a glass of sambuca or schnapps.
