Belgium

On the 6th of December sinterklaas or Saint-Nicholas is celebrated, which is an entirely different holiday for Christmas. Santa Claus in Belgium is called de Kerstman or le Pere Noel and he do come around on Christmas day to bring children presents. Small family presents are given at Christmas too, under the tree, or in stockings near the fire-place, to be found in the morning. Christmas breakfast is a special sweet bread called ‘cougnou’ or ‘cougnolle’ the shape is supposed to be like baby Jesus. Some families will have another big meal on Christmas day.

Portugal

People adhere to the tradition that Father Christmas brings presents to children on Christmas Eve. The presents are left under the Christmas tree or in shoes by the fireplace. A special Christmas meal of salted dry cod-fish with boiled potatoes is eaten at midnight on Christmas Eve.

Russia

In the days of Soviet Union, Christmas was not celebrated very much. New Year was the important time –when ‘Father Frost’ brought presents to children. With the fall of Communism, Christmas can be openly celebrated – either on December 25th ; or more often on January 7th . This unusual date is because the Russian Orthodox Church uses the old ‘Julian’ calendar for religious celebration days. Special Christmas food includes cakes, pies and ‘meat dumplings’.

Sweden

The most important day is Christmas Eve. A special Christmas meal is eaten on Christmas Eve – ham (Pork), Herring fish and Brown Beans. This is the time when families give presents to each other . Many people attend a church meeting early on Christmas Day.
