CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS AROUND THE WORLD
THE MOST CURIOUS CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS IN THE WORLD
With the arrival of Christmas comes that time of the year to decorate the house with lights, put up the Christmas tree and sing Christmas carols. And what do they do in other countries? In this article, you can discover the traditions of other parts of the world.
Christmas the typical tradition for the Spanish may seem strange to others, but the ones I bring you today will also surprise you. Here you will discover the most curious Christmas customs and traditions in the world, it is very interesting to know the celebrations depending on the country. Surely more than one of the ones that I am going to tell you about, let's go there!
Christmas traditions around the world
Although it is hard for us to believe, many Spanish Christmas traditions are not celebrated equally in the rest of the planet. There are even countries that don't even celebrate Christmas and others that take the opportunity to eat up to 12 different dishes on Christmas Eve (although we almost do it too). Do you want to know more about these curiosities? Keep reading and I'll tell you.
1. The “Santa Claus” of the Netherlands and Belgium – Sinterklaas
Did you know that Santa Claus does not come to the Netherlands? On December 5, Sinterklass rides with his assistant Zwarte Piet through the country, distributing gifts and sweets. According to what they say, 3 weeks before Sinterklaas leaves Spain and arrives at the Dutch port. Lately, the last Saturday of November arrives where that afternoon the children leave a letter at the door of the house with what they want and the next day they find sweets and chocolates. And on December 5, if they have been good, they will be able to open their gifts and celebrate that day with their family. Moral of the story: the Dutch love to eat chocolate.
On the other hand, Christmas day is very important for Catholics, many families go to church and the same thing happens in Belgium.
2 . Christmas Day in Ukraine and Russia
When is Christmas exactly? It is always on December 24, right? In principle, yes, but not in all countries. For some Orthodox Christians, it is January 6, which happens in Ukraine, Christmas Day is a traditional holiday with 12 different wishes, one for each of Jesus' apostles. In Ukraine they receive gifts on New Year's Day, in Russia Christmas is on January 7th. Oh, and Christmas trees in Ukraine might look more like Halloween, as they are covered in spider webs and fake spiders.
Neither Santa Claus nor Saint Nicholas comes here as in many Eastern countries, in Russia Ded Moroz and Snegurochka come. During Christmas, they eat a lot, sing and of course, the Christmas tree cannot be missing, the only different thing is the different dates since their calendar is based on the Julian calendar and not the Gregorian one.

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. It
takes
a
lot
to
prepare
for
the
fes.ve
season,
and
on
average,
a
cake
stall
like
this
è
takes
up
to
4
months
to
prepare
for
the
coming
December.
Maggie
Talbot,
the
stall
owner,
said
“a
team
of
8
of
us
work
5
days
a
week
for
4
months
prior
to
Christmas.”
3. The
tradi.onal
ornament
stalls,
which
was
originally
what
the
Christmas
markets
were
about,
now
a
days
do
not
sell
as
much
compared
with
the
food
and
drink
stalls.
This
Crystal
stall
only
got
2
sales
within
an
hour,
whereas
the
donut
stall
sold
to
a
countless
number
of
customers.
4. When
the
Christmas
markets
first
started,
they
put
fruit
on
skewers
and
covered
them
in
chocolate
as
they
did
not
have
many
‘sweet
treat’
stalls
so
this
was
sort
of
a
last
resort.
So
much
so
that
the
idea
of
‘chocolate
fondue’
as
we
know
it
today,
originated
from
this
stall.
5. The
most
popular
stall
throughout
most
Christmas
markets
tends
to
be
the
Bratwurst
stalls.
They
are
a
bit
like
a
hotdog
but
they
use
German
pork
sausage
instead.
Stall
worker
Sabrina
Lowe
said:
“The
Bratwurst
stall
is
defiantly
the
most
popular,
each
year
it
has
the
most
queues
and
intake!”
6. The
Christmas
markets
have
always
been
known
as
the
‘German
Christmas
Markets,’
as
demonstrated
in
the
picture
below,
however
this
is
not
technically
true.
The
Christmas
markets
actually
originated
from
Austria
in
1294.
Austrian
people
took
to
the
markets
to
sell
their
goods
for
money
to
buy
loved
ones
Christmas
presents
with.
7. There
are
the
more
general
stalls
that
appear
at
all
Christmas
markets
but
every
town
that
hosts
the
markets
will
have
a
local
varia.on
of
stalls,
for
example
the
Leeds
Christmas
markets
have
a
garlic
bread
stall,
and
a
stall
that
sells
snow
globes
with
‘Leeds’
wriUen
in
them.
8. Every
single
Christmas
market
has
the
head
of
a
moose
somewhere
in
it,
this
is
tradi.onally
put
up
as
a
central
point
of
the
markets.
The
people
gather
round
the
moose’s
head
to
sing
carols.
However
stall
owner,
Nastassia
Wortle,
said:
“It’s
not
as
much
a
tradi.on
now
as
it
was
15
years
ago.”
9. Most
towns
in
the
UK
now
welcome
the
fes.ve
markets,
but
the
first
ever
Christmas
markets
was
in
Lincoln.
This
was
because
of
its
close
friendship
with
a
small
German
town
that
used
to
send
hats
and
warm
clothing
goods
over
to
Lincoln,
un.l
it
became
a
tradi.on
every
year.
10. Every
Chri stmas
market
tradi.onally
has
a
carousel,
this
was
because
the
parents
used
to
leave
the
children
on
t h e
c a r o u s e l
w i t h
t h e
aUendant
and
the
adults
would
go
off
and
browse
the
stalls.
The
children
never
really
experienced
any
other
aspect
of
the
markets
but
this
tradi.on
has
preUy
much
died
out
now.
11. There
are
thousands
of
p e o p l e
t h a t
g o
t o
t h e
Christmas
markets
more
than
once
every
year.
This
year,
around
720,000
people
are
expected
to
aUend
the
Christmas
markets
in
Leeds.
Maria
Anastaiadi
said
“I
have
travelled
from
Greece
to
the
Leeds
Christmas
markets,
I
didn’t
expect
them
to
be
this
busy!”
