Christmas traditions around the world

1. France In France, people go to church to attend midnight mass on Christmas Eve. After the mass, the family reunites with the older siblings at their homes to share Christmas dinner and discuss important family events of the past year. Even if there are occasional disagreements among family members, they are often able to put aside their differences and make peace during the Christmas gathering. Therefore, Christmas is regarded as a day of kindness and harmony in the eyes of the French.

2. United Kingdom The British attach the most importance to Christmas dinner, and they believe that they must eat to their heart's content on Christmas. So the Christmas dinner table is very rich. For example: roast turkey, Christmas pudding, Christmas mince pies... and so on. And every person in the family received a present, even the servants, and the presents were distributed on Christmas morning. Sometimes when the choir sings Christmas carols door to door, they will be invited into the house by the owners and treated to tea or small gifts.

3. Italy Every Christmas, Italians like to place some models of the story of Jesus' birth in their homes. Then the whole family gathers together to have a big dinner, attend Christmas Mass at midnight, and then everyone goes to visit relatives and friends. There is a good custom in Italy at Christmas. In order to thank their parents for their education throughout the year, children will hide their essays or poems in napkins, tablecloths or plates before eating the Christmas dinner. After finishing the big meal, I took it out and read it aloud.

4. Spain. In Spain, children place their shoes outside windows or doors to receive Christmas gifts. It is also a festival for boys to express their love. And the "cow" is also treated the best at Christmas. There is a local legend that: "When Jesus was born, a cow breathed on him to keep him warm."

5. Sweden Swedes are very hospitable. Every family, regardless of their wealth, welcomes friends to visit, and even strangers can come in and eat. They put all kinds of food on the table and let people choose freely.

6. Switzerland The most distinctive thing in Switzerland is Santa Claus, who wears a white robe and a mask. Moreover, they are often dressed up by poor people, who go in groups to ask for food and gifts from the rich, and then divide the spoils equally when they disperse.
