Dear Sag, Heya! I live in Majorca and let me tell you now, that their Christmases are very
different than American/British ones! I follow British traditions but my Spanish friends do
things differently. They don't eat turkey, they eat beef. They also don't have Santa Claus! They
have the 3 Kings instead, who come on January 4th and bring presents.

The way my family celebrates Christmas is that every year we (my sister and I) wake our parents
up and then we open stocking presents. After that we open normal presents and we save the presents
from Santa Claus for last. Then we eat breakfast and go to my grandmother's house and open presents
at her house. And then normally we will have a huge dinner somewhere.

Hey Sagittarius! In my religion, from we have a month of fasting where you can't eat or drink
anything from sunrise till sunset called Ramadan. Well when the month of fasting is over, we
celebrate by having a holiday called Eid ul-Fitr. In that holiday, my whole family wears new fancy
clothes and we go to the mosque to pray. We also use henna leaves to decorate the palms of our
hands. Eid is my favorite holiday!

Um.. well, my tradition is not a lot like Christmas but we do get to visit friends. It's called
Eid. Eid is where we go around to visit friends and exchange presents. It's really fun. We
celebrate it in November and January 2 times. This year I get to actually see my best friend that
lives in Newmarket. We haven't seen each other for like last month and 4 months back. I am so
excited.

Sierra (13, from Kedah, Malaysia) writes:
Every year for the holidays, my mom and I go to the beauty salon for full beauty treatments.
Then my brothers and my dad go for haircuts and order their tuxedos. My mom and I go on shopping
sprees buying everything from shoes to bracelets. My dad buys cologne. The reason why we do this
is because every year my dad's company holds an annual dinner. He works with the prime minister,
and the dinner is always held at the prime minister's house. It is so cool!

I always hang up my decorations on my tree with my family. We also give food to the poor through
the church. It's a way of giving back to the community.

At Thanksgiving, my family goes up the mountains to a place (can't remember the name) and we
all have dinner and we horseback ride and have tons of fun with our cousins.

What we do during Christmas is we celebrate on Christmas Eve or the Saturday before Christmas.
It's really fun because we get to be with our family and we get to eat lots of food.

Hi everyone! What's up? The way my family celebrates Christmas is we have friends and family
over for breakfast and then we open all our presents. After that we all go to my cousin's house
and spend the day. This what I do Christmas.

Alexa (13, from Pennsylvania) writes:
Over the holidays, my WHOLE Italian family gets together at my aunt and uncle's house to give
out gifts, eat, and play "gag gift." I swear it's my favorite time of the WHOLE year. I can never
wait for it to come, and when it's over I anticipate next year's celebration!

Klaudia (11, from Greenville, Ohio) writes:
I was born in South Africa, but my family is from Poland (Europe). The way I celebrate my
Christmas is I have a big feast with my family on Christmas Eve and pass this communion bread
around so everyone breaks off a piece and makes wishes for one another. After that is finished
the kids go out and look for the brightest star. This Star in special since it is the one that
brings you your presents!!!!

Hello, from my family's tradition at Christmas is that my gran and grandad comes round for a
Christmas dinner. We wake up about 5am in the morning to open our presents. We also don't go to
bed at Christmas night until about 1am! Also at Boxing Day we normally just chill out and watch
a new DVD and relax.
