Have you ever wondered how other people celebrate Christmas?  Well here you go, 5 Christmas traditions from around the world!

  1. Australia

In Australia it’s summer vacation when Christmas rolls around, so it’s not unnatural to be outside or go camping around Christmas time.

2. Germany

In Germany Christmas tees are a big deal. When Christmas comes everyone has a tree, and everyone gets excited about decorating it too. Even the adults.

3. Japan

In Japan some people celebrate by ordering KFC, sometimes it’s so popular people have to order months in advance!

4.  South Africa

It is summer in South Africa when the holidays roll around but that doesn’t stop them from going caroling!

5. Finland

In Finland animals are given Christmas gifts. A person may hang a sheaf of wheat on a tree for animals.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is going out to eat at our local Chinese place on Christmas Eve.
