Christmas Traditions Around the World
Something tells me we've surely done a post like this in the past, yet with each holiday season it never hurts to remind ourselves how individuals and families across the globe are spending their time on this very day. On this about.com page they list traditions from various countries which include Egypt, Argentina, Finland, and Papua New Guinea to name only a few. In the Philippines (the only Asian nation where Christianity is the religion chosen by the people), Christmas celebrations start up to nine days before with a mass called Misa De Gallo. The story continues and sounds pretty valid where some of the others seem a bit questionable, like Christmas in Micronesia and Iran. Who am I to say though? I've only celebrated the holiday in my home land, but I'd love to hear what traditions are practiced by our readers both near and far.Filed under: Arts and Culture, Learning, Stories, Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America
