Christmas in other countries

Sweden: In the morning of Christmas, family members take breakfast only in


the light of a candle.

Greece: Children sing in the evening of Christmas carols (kalanda), in


exchange for sweets and dried fruits, which they receive from the faithful.

Ukraine: Traditional here is the 12-course meal from the evening of the Eve.
Family members will not start eating until the first stars appear in the sky.

Mexico: Mexican children have their own Christmas tradition, called Pinata.
They gather in the house of one of them, put coins and candies in a bag and then
cling it to the ceiling. The one who succeeds in breaking the sack is the winner of
everything within it.

Hungary: The little ones leave home on the evening of Eve, visiting visiting
relatives, and at that time it is said that Jesus brings them the Christmas tree
adorned with globes, candles and sweets. On Christmas Day, after the traditional
meal, children are allowed to eat sweets hanging in the fir tree.

Australia - Christmas table on the beach:


In Australia, Christmas is hot as a summer day, so Christmas dinner is much like
the American Thanksgiving dinner. Traditional Australian Christmas food consists
of turkey, ham, pork, plum pudding, and minced meat pies. The Australian
tradition is to have Christmas meals on a beach in the middle of the day. Maybe the
most important part of Christmas in Australia is "Candlelight Colindas." This event
takes place on Christmas Eve, when thousands gather to light candles and sing
their favorite Christmas carols.

In France: All Christmas is a light show. And not just Paris, the "city of
lights", but also in other parts of France. For example, before Christmas, in Lyon,
from December 5th to December 8th, there are over 70 light shows that simply
breathe your breath
