Every country celebrates Christmas in their own unique and fun ways. We found a great website called "Christmas Around the World" which summarizes some of the various Christmas traditions.
*Imagine the idea of Christmas being a SUMMER holiday. Well it is in places like Australia and South Africa.
*In Greece Santa Claus is celebrated as the patron saint of sailors.
*In Caracas, Venezuela it is customary to roller skate to Christmas church service.
*In Iran children do not get gifts but they do get new clothes to read on Christmas Day.
For more Christmas traditions around the world check out the site Christmas Around the World and have fun learning about the fun things other do on Christmas. It may even be fun to incorporate some of them into your own traditions!
