I recently read an article on the online version of "whychristmas.com" and it talks about different traditions in other countries.
I thought you might be interested because it's christmas time ...
First of all I am telling you something about the canadian traditions.
They send their biggest fir or pine to Boston because the Boston people helped them some time ago. A very common tradition is the "Mummering", people dress up and knock on somebody's door and ask if they are allowed to come in. Then they eat the christmas cake and celebrate together.
In Spain most people go to the "Midnight Mass" and after the meal people go through the streets playing guitars, beating on tambourines and drums. The children get their presents not on Christmas Day, but on Epiphany.
The Italian children get their presents from La Befana, she is a old witch who visits every household in the night of Janurary 5th. Cannons are fired from Castel St. Angelo in Rome to announce the beginning of Christmas time.
Merry Christmas to everyone!!
