Ever since Queen Elizabeth II was born, she spent every Christmas at Sandringham House in Norfolk, England. The Queen usually takes the train from King's Cross station in London, and is later joined by her closest family members for a week of festivities.

The family has a number of new and old traditions they incorporate into their celebration, including an afternoon tea, a charity soccer match, a gag gift exchange, church services, and an evening of games, including charades.

So how much has the festivities changed over the years? Let's take a look back at some vintage photographs of the royal family celebrating at Sandringham House.

Even today, the family attend two services on Christmas Day at the church of St. Mary Magdelene, a private one at 9 a.m, during which the Queen takes communion, and an 11 a.m public worship.

In 1981, after her highly publicized wedding to Prince Charles, Princess Diana joined the royal made the trip to Sandrigham for her first Christmas as a member of the royal family...

In 1998, a little over a year after their mother's death, Prince William and Harry took part in the Christmas Day activities at Sandringham.

Decades later, in 2011, Kate Middleton celebrated her first Christmas at Sandrigham as the Duchess of Cambridge.

Since then, she, William, and their children have taken part in the holiday activities every year. This year, they will be joined by Prince Harry's fiancee, actress Meghan Markle, and next year, their third child, who is due in April, will also have their first Christmas at Sandringham, just like the Queen did all those years ago.

We're looking forward to seeing the family do their annual walk to church in their Sunday best.
