Christmas Around The World

This week we are here to celebrate christmas and I am so excited. Today we read all about the christmas traditions from all around the world.

In France they leave their shoes out in front of the fire place so father christmas can put presents inside of them.

In Italy they eat very little on christmas day because this is a special day of prayer. Italians share their christmas gifts on the 6th of january witch I find very fasanating.

Dutch people celabrate St. Nichoals day on the 6th of december.

In Sweden Christmas eve is known as as  Julafton. This is a day to celabrete and make partys.

In Mexiconeach night from the 16th of december till christmas day the re-create the story of joseph and mary arriveing at bethlehem.

The Polish people call christmas eve the festavil of the stars. Often the don't eat until the first star apers in the night sky.
