This year marks the last Christmas that British troops will spend in Afghanistan. To ensure a good celebration, they spent six months preparing for the Christmas dinner, with most of the food shipped from the UK.
British soldiers, like children, also enjoy Santa Claus. Therefore, the military specially arranged for a helicopter to air-drop Santa Claus into the camp to deliver gifts. On Christmas Day, the British soldiers in the camp even removed their helmets and wore Santa hats instead.
