Royal Family traditions might be a mystery for some people. That's why this time we want to share with you exactly how the Queen celebrates Christmas every year! Back in the day when the Queen was little, she used to celebrate Christmas at Windsor Castle, but nowadays and since 1988 Her Majesty spends Christmas at Sandringham House, her country estate in Norfolk, surrounded by the other members of the Royal family!
