Christmas traditions

Recently I read some articles in the online version "christmas-tradtions" and it talks about christmas traditions from countries all over the world.

I thaught you might be interested because we are not the only one who are celebrating the nativity.

Basically whats i talks about is that Brazil consists a lot of different people. The former colony are the Portuguese and they have some customs which originate from this heritage. One tradition is that they play a scene which shows the nativity. It says that they eat a huge Christmas dinner which includes turkey, ham, colored rice, and wonderful vegetables and fruit dishes. They decorate with flowers from the gardon and you can see a huge christmas tree with lot of lights in every big city.

As well the article talks about the christmasday in Russia. On Christmas Day, hymns and carols are sung. People gather in churches which have been decorated with the usual Christmas trees or Yelka, flowers and colored lights.
