Day 12- December 26

Today is December 26 which is the day after Christmas; in the UK, today is Boxing Day. Boxing Day is a day that is almost like a second Christmas.Tradesmen and servants would get presents from their employers, in the past. Today, Boxing Day is a national bank holiday or national holiday. In the UK, Australia, and Canada, it is a day for shopping! It's is like the American Black Friday where most stores have dramatic price changes and sales.

Boxing Day is also similar to our Thanksgiving because of sports. Rugby is very popular in England, Wales, and Scotland and there are multiple matches played and shown on the television. Ice hockey also has its time in the spotlight on Boxing Day as well. Several games are played and multiple championships like the IIHF World U20 Championship.

Since we only had one more day in England, we decided to have a day of fun! We went to Cadbury World in Bournville, Birmingham. We got there by train and the cost to get there was $17.98. The cost to get back was $14.71.
Cadbury World is an amusement park focused on chocolate! We tried some and it is the best chocolate I've ever had. We rode the mini roller coaster which was really for little kids but it was still fun! I would definitely recommend Cadbury World. It is extremely family friendly and a lot of fun!
