Christmas in different countrys
A few days ago I read an article about christmas traditions in the inernet and it talked about different traditions in different countries. I thought you might be interessted because everbody likes christmas and it is interested in knowing different cultures. Bascially waht is said is that for instance in afrika the preparation for Christmas begins when some group is designated to prepare the annual Christmas tree. Further more, the text talked about Christmas in Denmark. In Denmark they light candles on the beautifully decorated Christmas tree. After dancing round the tree, singing traditional songs, the members of the family exchange gifts and they call Christmas Jul.
Basically what this text says is that yevery country has their own traditions and another country i exlapin here is Greenland. In Greenland, people visit family and friends, drink coffee, eat cakes and exchange gifts. Everybody gets Mattak, a whale skin with a strip of blubber inside, as a gift on Christmas. In villages, children go from hut to hut singing songs. Christmas trees are imported and are decorated with candles and bright ornaments. People dance all night long and sing carols
