Turkey is probably one of the most popular dishes at Christmas, because it is usually the main course! Other popular dishes include ham or a roast beef, but in the UK, turkey is definitely the main course of choice. People often buy a frozen turkey, thaw it, and then roast it in the oven for a couple of hours before adding garnishes, sauces…and then it’s ready to carve and serve!

There is nothing like scoop of properly roasted potatoes! These are often cut into small squares, and put into the oven with a bit of olive oil drizzled on top, along with herbs such as parsley and thyme, and salt and pepper. Once the edges are browned, the potatoes are good to go!

I hope you have learned that family stay together during Christmas they eat Thanksgiving food and it  is a very populous country .

Glædelig jul! That’s how you say “Merry Christmas” in Danish.

Denmark is in Europe.  Denmark is an amazing and beautiful place to live.  A citizen of Denmark is called a Dane, just like a Great Dane dog.  Danish people or Danes are people with a Danish background. Danish language is a North Germanic language used mostly in Denmark and Northern Germany. 

Danish people enjoy a Christmas meal at lunch.  They eat cold rice pudding, roasted goose, and donuts.  They love to eat and keep enjoying more and more food through the season.

Danes love Christmas and “The Festival of the Hearts” as it is called more than any other holiday associated with traditions. 

The Danes’ Christmas begins with the Advent wreath.  The wreath has a total of four candles for four weeks.  One candle is lit starting the first of the 4 weeks.  Then an additional candle is lit every week after that working up to the fourth week.  On the fourth week all four candles are lit by the Sunday leading up to Christmas Eve, December 24.  Advent is the count down to what comes at Christmas, the birth of Jesus, which is celebrated in all danish homes. Traditionally the advent wreath is made out of fine spruce twigs and cuttings. They are decorated with red berries and spruce cones, white candles, and red ribbons. The ribbons are for attaching the wreath to the ceiling.  

Denmark they wear warm outfits . they love the festival of hearts. Holiday in danish is feric.

Christmas is celebrated from December 12th to January 6th.The Climate in Mexico varies according to its topography. Along the coast (on both sides of the country) it is hot and humid, unbearably so in the summer. Inland communities at higher elevations such as Guadalajara (5200 ft above sea level) and in particular close-by Lake Chapala, are much dryer and more temperate.

From December 16th to Christmas Eve, children often perform the 'Posada' processions or Posadas. Posada is Spanish for Inn or Lodging. There are nine Posadas.it's traditionally eaten in Mexico's southern states, as well as the central states.They celebrate christmas because it was the day Marry gave birth to baby Jesus.

Today you are going to learn about how England celebrates Christmas. England is part of the United Kingdom.  England celebrates Christmas on Tuesday December 25th, the same as us.  Lincoln Christmas market was the first Christmas market in the UK and opens in Cathedral Quarter, they transform it into a winter wonderland with food, shopping, music, lights and fun.  

A cool tradition they have, is when children hear their favorite Christmas story, they then write a letter to Father Christmas, with their wishes.  They then toss their letter into the fire so their wishes can go up the chimney.  After the children fall asleep on Christmas Eve, Father Christmas comes to visit.  In England they refer to Santa as Father Christmas.  He wears a long, red robe, carries a sack of toys, and arrives on his sleigh pulled by reindeer.  He fills the children's stockings with candies and small toys.  The day before Christmas is very busy for families in England, they wrap presents, bake cookies, and hang stockings over the fireplace.  Then everyone gathers around the tree as someone tells they’re favorite story.  Families welcome the warmth and cheer of a Yule log blazing on the hearth, a tradition where a large log is burned in the fireplace on Christmas Eve. 

On Christmas Day, everyone sits down to a midday feast and finds a colorful Christmas cracker beside their dinner plate.  A Christmas cracker is a paper-covered tube, when the end tabs are pulled, there is a loud crack and out spills a paper hat to wear at dinner, small trinkets, and a riddle to read aloud to everyone at the table.  On christmas it is really snowy in england, it is normally cold, wet, and foggy in England at Christmas time.  

The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day.  This day has nothing to do with fighting.  Long ago, people filled church alms boxes with donations for the poor.  Then on December 26, the boxes were distributed. Now people often use this day to give small gifts of money to the mail carrier, news vendor, and others who have helped them during the year.

The holiday and traditions in England are different from us, although there are some similarities with a few things.  I thought it was cool to learn about how kids in England celebrate Christmas.  My favorite tradition is where they read their favorite Christmas story and then write their wishes on a piece of paper to throw them in the fire, so they go up the chimney for Father Christmas.  I think England would be a fun place to visit one time and I would like to go to the Lincoln Christmas Market. England’s eat on christmas yorkshire pudding,turkey,potatoes.

The location of this country is in southern Europe and comprises the long boot shaped Italian peninsula,and the dates that Their Christmas is celebrated from December 24th-January 6th.

Christmas is celebrated because Babbo Natale(Father Christmas)Brings presents to the children of Italy,often no food is eaten this day as this day is a fast day,the celebrations start after midnight mass.

 

Christmas time in Italy consists of Italian Christmas Markets,a month of festivities!,and Lucky thirteen.The type of dress and decorations they have are,Window decorations,murano glass,shepherds sandals which are leather sandals with straps and buckles,shepherds hats,and the food they eat are lasagne,capon,stuffing,and sausage.

That is what Christmas time in Italy is hope you enjoyed

On el Dia de los Reyes the presents are left by the Three Kings (or Magi). The Mexican celebration of Christmas is called las posadas and begins on December 16. The ninth evening of las posadas is Buena Noche, Christmas Eve. The children lead a procession to the church and place a figure of the Christ Child in the nacimiento or nativity scene there.

            Greece

Greece is located at the southeast end of Europe and it is the southernmost country of the Balkan Peninsula.Greece is referred to as a southern European country,geographically she is a part of this region.

The Greek Orthodox church is celebrated Christmas on December 25th,the same date as the Catholic and Protestant churches.That greek date for Christmas was picked because on the same day in the Mediterranean they used to celebrate a persian god,Mithras,who was the god of the sun.

Christmas Trees are popular in Greece. But an older and more traditional decoration is a shallow wooden bowl with a piece of wire suspended across the rim. A sprig of basil wrapped around a wooden cross and hangs from the wire. Some water is kept in the bowl to keep the basil alive and fresh.They have garments draped over their bodies and their outfits are made from one piece rectangles of fabric,with holes cut out for the head.The peplos was sleeveless,while the chiton covered part of the arms.Over this,people could wear a cloak called a himation.These outfits were made out of wool,a fabric used frequently in greek clothing,due to the prevalence of sheep farming in greece and the country’s suprisingly cool winters.Linen was also traditionally used for clothing worn during the hot Mediterranean.They eat baklava recipe,Egg-lemon-Chicken-rice soup,Yiaprakia Stuffed cabbage,Christopsomo bread,Pork recipes,Melomakarona cookies, Kourabiethes cookies,Karythopita walnut spice cake,Kalitsounia Kritis cheese pastery.
