Christmas Traditions around the World

Christmas is a festival celebrated world over. In some parts, the celebration is totally religious while, in others, it is relaxed and secular. In most regions, Christmas has a unique national and cultural flavour of celebrating the festival.

Also, there is no homogenous or common Christmas customs and traditions around the world, but there are a few common elements. Popular Christmas traditions are exchanging of gifts, preparing the Yule log, decorating the Christmas tree, kissing under the mistletoe, etc.

In predominantly Christian countries, Christmas is the most significant festival, in economic terms. For instance, in the UK, Christmas is celebrated for 12 days beginning with Christmas day. It is a huge celebration and feasting leading up to the Feast of the Epiphany or the 12^th Night.

The custom of elongating Christmas celebrations is growing in popularity. In some countries, the holiday season starts much before Christmas day to celebrate with family for a longer time. This is to stretch the shopping season.

The day before Christmas is commonly called as Christmas Eve and the days after Christmas by various names. In some Commonwealth countries, it is referred to as “Boxing Day,” while in Poland and Germany, it is called as Second Christmas Day. Romanians and the Irish call the day as St. Stephen’s Day.

Apart from such religious connotations, Christmas is associated with certain customs and traditions of a non-religious and secular nature. Some of them are:

• Exchange of gifts: Families and friends exchange gifts. Children hang stockings by the fireplace and keep empty shoe boxes on Christmas Eve to let Santa fill it with gifts or candy by X’MAS morning. Sometimes kids leave their shoes by the window sill for Santa to fill them up with goodies.

• Christmas cards: Sending Christmas cards is a popular way of celebrating Christmas. And all your friends and family will appreciate a card wishing them Merry Christmas if you are far away from them.

• Decorating home: Get your family together to deck up your home and Christmas tree. Festoon the home with balloons and streamers, as well as stars and mistletoe. Candy canes can also be used. People decorate insides as well as outside of their homes. Sometimes municipalities sponsor the X’MAS decorations.

•   Christmas parties: They are a great way to celebrate with family. Special Christmas dinner menu like Christmas pudding is served in most countries. Families in some East European countries fast for a few days before Christmas and break their fast on Christmas day with special Christmas feast. Some countries feature Christmas pageants and Christmas dances as part of the revelry and exchange famous Christmas quotes to mark the celebrations with joy and laughter.

• Charitable work: People go carol singing to spread the joy and cheer from house to house. Also, they visit the neighbourhood for good causes like raising donations for the infirm and the destitute.

• Religious celebration: As a religious celebration, the revelry of the festival is toned down. In homes and the Church, carols are sung, funds are raised for good causes and people do voluntary charitable work. It is a time for silent prayer, spiritual renewal and reading out quotes from the Holy Bible.

There are many customs and traditions for Christmas around the globe. But basically, it served to bring love, peace and joy to our homes and our lives.

The phrase ‘I love you’ means a lot

Since the next question expected from her is ‘who are you to take care of me’, you can say this only when she feels that you form part of her life.

• Love: Among the three words, if you stress on the word love, it means more than just liking her, or wanting or admiring her. Love means a lot like taking care, a fanatic feeling, or an infatuation. Before using the word, think twice on what it means to you and how to place it.

• You: This word is generally emphasized to stress on the person you are really thinking of. One should be clear about the person to whom they express their love that they are really the perfect choice and have undergone some sweetest experiences and have a good knowledge about their nature.
