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.

This is a presentation on how do we celebrate Christmas in Spain and Catalonia. This is a material for my adults students of Spanish as a Foreign Language.
Christmas is an annual Christian holiday that takes place in December. Christmas is celebrated in places like Canada, where people are always happy from December into the new year. Workers take time off from work as Christmas Day, December 25, approaches in order to prepare for the holiday. A public holiday that begins on December 24th is also observed. Boxing Day, December 26, marks the conclusion of the holiday. Hershey Rosen, a Canadian, loves spending Christmas cuddled up at home with her family. Entrepreneur Hershey Rosen works with start-up businesses and technology.
Hershey is a well-known successful businessman who has built numerous companies from the ground up.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
2. • For busy students who are looking for some
holiday spirit good food, good drinks and
crafts are an easy train ride away at the
annual Christmas Village in Center City’s
Love Park.
• Christmas Village will continue until 5 p.m.
Christmas Eve.
3. • Christmas Village, a German style outdoor
market, is now on its fifth year. The
number of people who come through has
grown every year. For 2012, they expect
to see around 500,000 visitors according
to their press statement. It hosts vendors
from all over the world, primarily European
and Americans.
4. • Students may wonder whether this is a bit
too juvenile for them, but it’s not. Inspired
by the German outdoor markets, Christmas
Village has over 90 booths with over 60
vendors selling a wide array of items and
holiday goodies. Students looking to pick
up unique holiday gifts will find that it may
have just the right thing for them.
5. • “People should definitely set aside a
few hours to walk around and really
see everything” said Rebecca Heine,
one of the many young shoppers. “For
those with money to spend it has a lot
of nice knick-knacks for the family”.
6. • Among the many stalls, student who are doing
holiday shopping might be interested to look at
Kathe Wohlfahrt’s authentic German Christmas
ornaments.
• Indoors one can find Christmas pyramids,
dioramas, glass and crystal ornaments,
nutcrackers, music boxes, beer steins—all of
which are each handcrafted in Germany.
• “Next week and the week after are prime
ornament buying times for the Village”, said
Bruce Chaftin, the manager of the Kathe
Wohlfahrt tent. “We bring the Village traditional
Christmas items like pyramids (which are the
original Christmas trees) from the Rhineland
region of Germany.”
7. • Even if students don’t wish to buy some of the pieces
which are slightly out of the normal student’s price range
with beer steins starting at $30 and higher quality items
going up from there, there are plenty of stands in the park
to choose from.
• Nepa Bhon is a vendor of Nepalese products including
handmade lampshades, photo albums, bags and other
general home décor items. The store residence is in New
York, where the owner Roger Sayami has neglected the
Christmas bazaars there for two years for the one in
Philadelphia.
• “We like it better here because there are lots of people in
New York, which make it not as worthwhile to do business
there”, said Sayami. “And the people are nicer here.”
8. • Another vendor with plenty of good gifts for the holidays
is Noel en Provence, a vendor of French items. The
vendor Fifi Siksik is American and met her French
husband while salsa dancing in the Riviera.
– They live part of the year in Nice, in the French Riviera where
they pick up many items for their business.
• “We take a trip down the Danube and stop at all the
outdoor markets”, said Siksik. “We become friends with
foreigners and get good products at a good price”.
• Noel en Provence has been a part of Philadelphia’s
Christmas Village for four out of the five years and prides
itself on the European craftsmanship displays. The
Siksik have noticed that students who shop in their stall
tend to buy scarves, soap, perfume, and earrings.
9. • Among the many families spending time
together at the market in early December,
there were also many young people and
students who are just soaking up the
Christmas atmosphere.
• “It’s a little overpriced so I’m not doing
shopping so much as just getting away
from the LaSalle world for the day”, said
Catherine Andrews, a junior at LaSalle.
10. • Lebkuchen is a German food stand
offering a beautiful assortment of
Christmas goodies like lebkuchen
(gingerbread cookies), stollen (specialty
German holiday cake) , as well as other
sweets.
11. • For those wishing for something more
savory, the German Grill offers bratwursts,
latkes, various meats and German potato
salad.
12. • If one needs to warm up with something a
little stiffer than the hot chocolates and
apple ciders that are to be found in many
stalls, then meandering to the Chaddsford
Winery might be a good idea.
• In this stall they offer two different types of
mulled wine.
• The vendor throws in a complimentary mug
on your first visit so you can come back
again for refills.
13. • If just the shopping and food stands
weren’t enough to tempt you, then the live
Christmas music performed should be.
There is usually a live singer on the stage
erected behind the Love statue.
14. • “It’s my first time in Philly for Christmas
and I wanted to check out ice skating as
well as the wide array of shops”, said
Katie Burrows, a businesswoman from
Wisconsin. “The singing that they do in
the square is nice, too.”
