Holiday Customs

             Many people celebrate Christmas and in many different ways. The general way to celebrate Christmas is to set up a tree and stockings for presents. But that's not all to it. The other details are what are interesting! Yo are probably used to the traditional opening of presents and eating a great feast, like I am, but some people do something different someplace else! Its amazing to know about what other people do for Christmas, like we do now! What they do every year on the 25 of December could be so unusual and different to us! Like what we call Santa. What we are used to is Santa Claus or Kris Kringle, but did you know that his name is Papai Noel in Brazil? Or that he is called Shengdan Laoren in China? In Chile they call him Viejo Pascuero and in Dutch his name is Sinter Klaas! In England Father Christmas and in Europe Saint Nicholas. There are a lot more out there but then that would probably take up the entire page! So you see, there are alot more customs to celebrating Christmas than what we are used to, and a lot more names for Santa than we would believe!
