Santa worldwide

Christmas is a global phenomenon, and therefore the number of the party with a fan and symbol, Santa. It is therefore logical that because people around the world celebrate Christmas differently, also see Santa in different ways and have different traditions.

For example, France Christmas with the word Christmas, and Santa goes by the name of the Father Christmas. Since the United States, the French are celebrating to do with a Christmas tree. Sometimes decorate their trees in the traditional French, which is bright red ribbons and real candles, instead of the wreath, electric lights and decorations used novelty in the United States. They also believe that the exterior decoration, especially the evergreens on their property, covered with lights left overnight.

In Hungary, the tradition of Christmas is a little different than the French or American. In countries of Eastern Europe, Santa Claus is called "Grandfather Winter" or Mikulas in your language. It does not come on Christmas Eve, but on 6 December. It is the work of children before this day to ensure they are clean and they are cleaning their rooms. For these children good winter's grandfather leaves candy and toys for them in the freshly cleaned shoes or boots. For those children who have nothing? They get a birch gold, which means they deserve a beating! Hungary this is not Father Christmas (or winter grandfather), but the Child Jesus and the angels who bring gifts and the tree Christmas the day before Christmas. To give you time to put in place, families often visit the home of a relative or go to the movies.

In Germany, the holidays are all decorations. I like to put electric candles in their light, and covering their houses with all kinds of lights and colors. Decoration is the specialty of German Adventskranz, which is actually a wreath with four candles on it. And like many American homes, to decorate the Germans as part of a manger, the representation of the famous stable, with little Jesus, Mary, Joseph, animals and the Magi. Santa Claus brings gifts to children in Germany on Christmas Eve while Santa Claus brings gifts on December 6.

Children should consider moving to Latvia over the Baltic Sea to the Christmas period. There, Santa Claus brings gifts for all 12 days of Christmas, with the first day of Christmas to come. Latvia also claims to be the seat of the first Christmas tree, documented in 1510. There Alternatively, you can check the menu before visiting the country. The traditional Christmas meal is brown peas with bacon sauce, sausage, cabbage and cakes minced meat.

Here's a delicious meal and sounds of Christmas still blow in New Zealand. Since Christmas is in the middle of the summer for children New Zealand Christmas dinner usually include grilled foods such as ham, shrimp and fish. Many cities enjoy the Christmas parade through the season vacation. Like American children, families open Christmas presents from Santa Claus on Christmas Day. However, some people are so fond of Christmas, we also celebrate the feast of Santa motor in the middle of July, when cool enough for a proper English Christmas dinner.

Wherever you are on the map, you can certainly enjoy Christmas in one way or another. And do not worry. With power his sleigh of reindeer, Santa Claus is anywhere in the world where you live.
