Countries and cultures throughout the world have a variety of traditions that celebrate different days of the season or highlight activities unique to their region. Green Global Travel shares a variety of traditions; look for one to incorpo- rate in your family fun this year. Hiding a Christmas pickle in the tree has long been thought to be a German tradition. On Christmas morning, whoever finds the pick- le-shaped ornament gets an extra present. There’s a legend about a Civil War soldier from Bavaria who begged for a last pickle before he died, which helped him survive, and another story about St. Nick rescuing two boys from a pickle barrel. But historians believe it likely started with the sale of pick- le-shaped ornaments imported from Germany. In Iceland, people exchange books on Christmas Eve, then spend the eve- ning eating chocolate and reading them. It’s part of a season known as the Christmas Book Flood, or Jolabokaflod; because of this tradi- tion, Iceland publishes more books per capita than any other country in the world, with most of those sold went in September and November. In Peru, Christmas Eve is La Noche Buena and is the main celebration. After Christmas Mass, families have a big meal, open gifts and toast each other at midnight. Houses are deco- rated with nativity scenes that are intricately carved from stone or wood, and gifts are spread around the man- ger. The person chosen to put the fig- urine of baby Jesus in the manger is supposed to have good luck. The Syrian tradition holds that chil- dren receive gifts from one of the wise men’s camels, which according to leg- end was the youngest and smallest in the caravan and collapsed from exhaustion at the end of the journey to Bethlehem. In Spain, families eat Roscon de Reyes, a sweet bread ring similar to king cake, on Jan. 6 during the cele- bration of Dia de Reyes, or Kings’ Day. This celebrates the arrival of the three wise men. The bread is topped with crushed almonds, candied fruit and powdered sugar and has a baby Jesus doll (or dried fava bean) inside the cake. In Poland, people often decorate Christmas trees with spider webs because a Polish legend holds that a spider wove a blanket for Jesus, and many Polish people consider spiders to symbolize goodness and prosperity.
