CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD
"This year we wanted to focus on how people celebrate Christmas in
other countries and get some interesting insights about Christmas traditions
and celebrations. More than two billion people celebrate Christmas every year
with traditions going further than decorating a Christmas tree or leaving
treats out for Santa.
In many European places the festivities begin on the
6th of December with St Nicholas day. In Italy, they exchange
presents on January 6th which is the day of Epiphany. For Christians who
live in India, fir trees are not common, they decorate mango trees instead. In
Australia due to the weather, Father Christmas swaps his reindeer for ‘six white
boomers’ or kangaroos.
A
Christmas tree has been made up on the 1st floor of Bedford Campus Library where you
are encouraged to come along and share with us on a note, your own
traditions."
