Noël en chiffres

Christmas is no small event in Britain and, by the end of November, the British are already buying gifts, attending Christmas related events and eating Christmas food. British tabloid The Sun has compiled a list of how much its people will spend time celebrating. The average British person will buy 22 gifts per year, found during an average of 14hrs of Christmas shopping. They'll attend two Christmas parties on average, during which they'll pull 4 Christmas crackers and listen to a total of 1,008 hours of Christmas songs throughout their lives. In terms of food, a balanced diet seems unlikely: the British will eat only 16 Brussels sprouts during the Holiday season – but will devour 15 mince pies throughout December!
