For this festival, many families in the west often start to buy various holiday supplies, Christmas food and gifts as soon as they enter 65438+ February. On the evening of February 24th, 65438, the whole family usually get together, have a Christmas dinner and have a Christmas party. There are many kinds of food on the table, the most important of which is the indispensable traditional dish-roast turkey. In the eyes of westerners, a dinner without roast turkey is not a real Christmas dinner. Sometimes, there is an "angel of God" seat at Christmas dinner. After Christmas dinner, people will go to the chapel to announce good news and prepare candy and snacks for the choir, which is similar to the traditional China New Year.
Some West Renye Fang used to put a roast suckling pig on the dining table. People in Britain, America and other countries often like to put apples in pigs' mouths. It is said that this habit originated from some big families, because only big families can eat a pig. Later, some ostentatious people followed suit when they invited guests at Christmas. Generally, there are plums, puddings and minced meat pies for dessert. People in Britain and America think that they will be very lucky after eating this kind of food.
The world is big, and there is no wonder. Different countries have different eating habits for Christmas. Australia is one of the countries in the southern hemisphere. At the end of February, 65438+, while western European countries were celebrating Christmas in the howling cold wind, Australia was an unbearable midsummer season. Therefore, when you spend Christmas in Australia, you can see sweaty boys and girls wearing short skirts everywhere, snow scenes carefully arranged in shop windows, Christmas trees covered with snowflakes and Santa Claus wearing red cotton-padded jackets, which constitute a unique holiday scene in Australia. The sharp contrast between this cool place and the harsh winter scene is probably unique in western countries. On this day, the best Christmas gift parents can give their children is a pair of small water strokes. Surfing in the sea at Christmas is a major feature of Australia. On holiday nights, take drinks to the forest for a picnic. People set up open-air stoves with stones, make fires with dead branches, put iron plates on them, and fry sausages, beef and fresh fish. After eating and drinking, they danced "disco" and "kangaroo dance" until late at night. Drunk, they lay on the grass and greeted Santa Claus with thunderous snoring. And a family. In the evening, families, old and young, or with relatives and friends, go to restaurants for Christmas dinner in droves. Because every hotel will not miss this good opportunity to make money, it has decorated its storefront several days in advance and prepared rich food, including preserved chicken, turkey, pork legs, wine and snacks.
In the United States, Christmas pays more attention to family layout, putting up Christmas trees, stuffing socks with gifts, eating a special food-baked corn porridge, coated with cream and adding some fruit, which is sweet and delicious. In Denmark, at the beginning of Christmas dinner, people must eat an almond pudding before they can start eating something else. In Serge, central France, it snows heavily a few days before and after Christmas every year, which makes people feel fresh and romantic. In the eyes of westerners, White Christmas is an auspicious day. In France, the manger is the most distinctive Christmas symbol, because it is said that Jesus was born next to the manger. After people sing Christmas songs in praise of Jesus, romantic French people like to sing and dance on the evening of February 24, 65438, accompanied by the rich bouquet of brandy and champagne. Both the British and the Germans like to drink beer. In addition to drinking, the British also like to travel to other places. More conservative families gather on Christmas Eve.
