2. FOOD
• Brazil is a large country with a mix of people
from many parts of the world, so they
celebrate Christmas in many different ways.
One of them is eating turkey, vegetables and
fruits but for the poor, chicken and rice will
be their special feast.

3. PRESENTS
• Sadly not all children in Brazil will receive
gifts. Local charities gather donations from
those who can afford to give but it is never
enough for all the children.

4. DANCE AND SONGS
• Folk dance and songs are quite common in
Brazil. The celebrations can go on till January
6th which is regarded as the “Three Kings
Day”. It is named so because it is believed
that, on this day, the three wise men visited
Jesus to bring him gifts.
