In hungary they eat often eat fish like carp, and when there parents put presents under the tree the kids aren't there so that when they come home they think angels gave them the presents. Kids in hungary on December 6th put their shoes out because st. nickolas or old man winter would put presents in their shoes. The way I celebrate christmas is by decorating the christmas tree, making gingerbread men, get presents from my mom and dad, and singing christmas carols. When I see what Hungary dose makes me want to go there and explore the different possibilities you can do!]]> 2017-12-19 19:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/laurencm/3cmbn23ep43/wish/217347317 https://padlet.com/laurencm/3cmbn23ep43/wish/217347413 In Russia Christmas wasn't Celebrated as much because it was banned in 1929 and they stopped banning it and turned it into new years tree.  In China, only about one percent of people are Christians, so most people only know a few things about Christmas. Because of this, Christmas is only often celebrated in major cities. In these big cities there are big christmas trees in large cities. They're All different from here because we celebrate christmas in the us because mostly everyone decorates there houses and we open presents on christmas day so that we can give each other hugs and special gifts to one another. ]]> 2017-12-19 19:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/laurencm/3cmbn23ep43/wish/217347413 https://padlet.com/laurencm/3cmbn23ep43/wish/217347706 i learned in india that they don't use christmas trees they use banana or mango trees or (any type of tree) and they decorate it
