Christmas Is Everywhere

Have you ever traveled to another country during a holiday? Did they celebrate that holiday differently? I know for a fact that other countries celebrate Christmas differently.

In Brazil, it is celebrated as one of the most important holidays. It is celebrated on December 25th just like in the United States. For traditions, they have plays that they perform every year. The most popular one is called “Os Pastores” which in English, means The Shepherds. Like in Mexico, these plays are very popular.

Like in the United States, England in Christmas is very cold, wet, and foggy. They call their mistletoe a “kissing bough”. They decorate with ivy and holly. Some families in England have 2 Christmas trees! What they have to eat is Yorkshire Pudding. Yorkshire Pudding actually originates from England, as well! They usually serve it with roast turkey. But it can be served as a dessert when it’s not Christmas. They have a day after Christmas called Boxing Day where the boys will usually go out collecting money in clay boxes.
