Koleda is the Bulgarian word for Christmas, which may come from Latin or Bulgarian words related to winter or cutting animals. Christmas Eve on December 24 is called Badni vecher, when families gather for a festive dinner including ritual bread with figures and a burning log. Carolers called Koledari traditionally visit houses singing carols and are given treats in return. On Christmas Day, people attend church and have large feasts including pork dishes, while incorporating newer traditions like Christmas trees and Santa Claus.
Christmas traditions in Greece have evolved over time as foreign customs were adopted. Originally, Greeks decorated ships rather than Christmas trees, but since the 1800s have decorated trees with colored balls. Traditional Christmas foods include melomakarona, christopsoma, and kurabiedes pastries as well as turkey, lamb or pork for the Christmas day meal. Children still sing carols door-to-door to receive tips. Saint Vasilopita cake honors Saint Basil, who distributed pies with hidden coins to the poor. Greeks now exchange Christmas cards depicting the nativity and wish each other a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Saint Nicholas of Myra is the historical basis for the figure of Santa Claus. He was a 4th century Greek Christian bishop in modern-day Turkey, known for his generous gifts to the poor. His remains were moved to Bari, Italy in 1087, where they attracted pilgrims and economic activity. Over time, his legend associated him with bringing gifts at Christmas and became conflated with English and Dutch traditions of Father Christmas. He is the patron saint of many groups including children and sailors.
The passage describes several Romanian Christmas traditions: caroling (colindul), in which groups sing Christmas songs from house to house; sorcova, where children carry decorated branches and make new year wishes; the goat dance performed on New Year's Day with a masked character; plugușorul where young peasants carry a decorated plough and make wishes; and steaua, where children carry a decorated wooden star and sing on Christmas Eve. These traditions have roots in ancient folk customs and agricultural rituals but still play an important role in modern Romanian Christmas celebrations.

The Christmas tree is decorated and presents exchanged after the meal. Santa Claus brings gifts twice around Christmas.
