Christmas Traditions

I have read an article at share-christmas.com and it talks about Christmas traditions.

I thought you might be interested because it's very interesting to know about Christmas traditions of other countries.

Basically I have chosen 3 countries: America, China and Spain.

The Americans put on the top of their Chrismtas tree an angel. They celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. The Americans call father christmas, Santa Claus.

People in China decorate their homes with colourful paper lanterns. Compared to America Christmas day isn't a holyday. The children must go to school and the adults go to work. The Christmas trees are decorated also with paper lanterns.

The people in Spain sing and dance on the streets after Christmas mat on Christmas eve. A very famous song is "Feliz Navidad". This song is known in a lot of countries. The Spains have their christmas dinner after midnight.

What surprised me most was the fact that in Spain people dance and sing on the streets. I didn't know that but I think it's a very nice tradition. What shocked me most was the fact that in China people must go to work or to school. I think Christmas day should be also a holiday in China.
