Do you know that Christmas is not celebrated in the same way in the different countries? Each country has its own traditions (special days, food, clothes, songs, etc). For example, a Christmas tradition is placing sprigs of Holly or Mistletoe above the door. If two people are caught walking under it at the same time, it is said that they must kiss. Can you tell me things about Christmas time in other parts of the world? You can go to http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/holidays/christmas/ and comment on Christmas in different countries.

the Christmas in Australia are very different from us as we celebrate Christmas when we are at low temperatures while they are up to 30 º.
The traditional food of Australia for Christmas is turkey, ham and cerdo.El traditional Christmas dessert is plum pudding.
The Australians also have things other than the Spanish for example at the time of day it is celebrated Spanish celebrated at dinner while the Australians at noon.
Australians surround themselves with Christmas Bush, a native plant that has a little red in their leaves.
Christmas shopping are shorts and t-shirts. At many beaches Santa Claus is coming to a surfboard, or even a surf rescue boat.
Santa Claus is one of the most popular symbols of the holiday.
Santa Claus is based on st.nicholas a devout bishop who lived in turkey over 1,500 years ago.
Advent is a season leading up to december 25.In some churches,the four candles represent hope,love,joy and peace and the center candle represents the birth of Jesus.
Cookie cutters are perfect for making holiday cookies.

But here we celebrate the born of Jesus and in America celebrate the day of thanks giving. They have a special meal too but they eat turkey and other things. In spain we usually eat the meals very big and elaborated. In Spain the christmas figure are the three wise men and in America the christmas figure is Santa Claus.
