Christmas Around the World
Want to add a little
international flair to your
holidays this year? 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.
