Christmas is a celebration of the world. Although every family or community has its own customs, practices specific to the region are very detailed and differ widely from region to region.
In Italy, south of Rome, the traditional Christmas Eve dinner is one of the seven fish. Throughout Italy, the holidays are traditionally Christmas Eve meatless because it is a day of abstinence in the Catholic Church. One more great Italian culinary tradition is a Milanese Christmas Panattoni. Laden is a sweet bread with raisins, candied fruit and nuts. It is ideal for breakfast and makes amazing french toast.
Just north of Italy is Germany, where a rich tradition of outdoor markets at Christmas. Despite the cold German families go beyond the traditional candy store Christmas gifts and enjoy Christmas specific regional needs. This tradition started in the 14th century. The opening at the end of November and remain open until Christmas Eve.
A tradition German is the Gluehwein and Stollen. Spiced wine and the usual German Christmas cake, loaded with raisins and nuts and covered with icing sugar is a sensitive time in honor of Christmas German households.
In Greece, Christmas is celebrated on December 25 exactly, not the celebration of Easter, which is after the Orthodox calendar. While Christmas in Greece is very important, is a much more formal than in the West and therefore there is less extravagant ornaments and more focused on the religious character of the party.
In England, the custom of Wassailing were from the Middle Ages. Wassila, a heady mix of honey, beer and spices, is better when shared among a group. Serve in a bowl or a large cup or a can of wood, which was passed around to people in the class as a form of welcome. Typically, the bowl is moved from one house to celebrate and share a day holiday greeting.
In England the day after Christmas is called Boxing Day. Conventionally and traditionally a day reserved for the poor, has become a national holiday in England. Back in the 18th century, the lord and lady of the house would "box" of their remains and small gifts to give the servants of the house and tenants on their land. Like most people from their homes and other low-paid workers would be required to work the day of Christmas, Boxing Day is the day to visit his family to make pledges for small traders like the postman or the milkman. Families gathered often board games and share a meal and enjoy a walk.
In Mexico, the celebration of Christmas began on December 16, with nine days of Las Posadas. Las Posadas is a nine-day celebration that is the lighted candle processions and parties of bubbles. Another great Christmas tradition is the Shepard play. Professional and amateur groups put these pieces of Christmas stories.
In parts of Mexico, the decoration of Christmas is above all the cradle the. It is often done by hand and assembled during the season.
In Brazil, the custom of Las Posadas is also generally practiced, differs only in the Brazilian version of the work, where a shepherd who follows the star and a Roma woman who has plans to try to figure Flight of the Child Jesus in the manger.
Brazil has a wide range cultural history and many of their traditions are very different by region, based on reasons of migration. The same is true for Australia. It is also important take into account that both countries were multicultural experiences instead of winter in December. Families celebrate Christmas dinner outside enjoying the sun and rich, warm temperatures.
In India, although Christians are a small group, Christmas is celebrated and customs is a good mix of British colonial era and rich regional additions. In trees from various fields of bananas and mangoes are decorated with lights. Greetings are exchanged with neighbors and interested parties are accommodated. In metropolitan areas, hotels and office reception and disco Families parties.
In Japan there are only a small number of Christians in the country - about 1% of the population as a whole, however, Christmas is celebrated anyway. For Christians, the gift exchange with family members are not a widespread practice, but focus more on sharing the joy with the poor, especially those in hospital.
Regardless of how the festival is celebrated, Christmas is about love, compassion, food, and family. The best gift of the season is one of friendship and love between parents and friends.
