Christmas holidays

The Christmas Holidays is the time of the year when Hogwarts students have the option to go home via the Hogwarts Express for Christmas. At this time the school is decorated and the Great Hall is filled with The Twelve Christmas Trees. On Christmas day there is the Christmas feast where the remaining students and teachers tuck into mountains of roast turkeys, potato’s and chipolata’s. The tables in the Great Hall are strewn with wizard Crackers, wonderful crackers that sound like gunshots when pulled and are filled with real sized hats, wizard chess sets, live mice and jokes. Harry Potter stayed at Hogwarts for the Christmas holidays in his first four years, having no desire to spend the holiday period with the Dursley family.
