How does the world celebrate Christmas?


SPAIN: The streets are lit up with colourful lights. There are many shops with typical Christmas products, all the family get together on Christmas  Eve. The typical dishes are lamb, turkey, walnuts,  Christmas sweets (turron, marzipan...). On New year Eve, at five to twelve Spanish people get ready to eat 12 grapes, one after each stroke of the bell.

GERMANY: After the Christmas Eve´s dinner, the children wait for  the presents nervously, but they can´t open them before they sing the traditional carol "Silent night".

BELGIUM: Their habit is going ice-skating after the typical family dinner. Saitnt Nicolas visits the children of the city on the 4 of December to check if they have been good or bad.

ITALY: On  New year's Eve, "Notte di Capodanno", it's typical to go  to discos after eating a lentil dish. Women wear red to be lucky during the year.
