3 Christmas Around the World As you might imagine, Christmas in Hawaii is a decidedly tropical affair. Many locals import their traditional firs and pines from the U.S. mainland, arriving long before the holiday starts on the Xmas Tree Ship. Others get creative, decorating palm trees with lights and ornaments and using outrigger canoes and dolphins to resemble Santa s sleigh and reindeer. Jolly old St. Nick and his eyes wear aloha shirts instead of fur-trimmed suits. And of course the most popular Christmas dinner is a community or family luau, complete with roast pig and colorful Christmas leis. In the Marshall Islands, people prepare for Christmas months in advance, stockpiling gifts and dividing into jeptas, or teams, that hold song-and-dance competitions on Christmas Day. They also build a piñata-like wojke containing little presents (matches, money, soap) for God. In spite of Ethiopia s Christian heritage, Christmas is not an important holiday there. Most people actually call the holiday Ganna or Genna after a hockey-like ball game played only once a year, on Christmas afternoon. People in Iceland will often exchange books on Christmas Eve, then spend the rest of the night reading them and eating chocolate. The tradition is part of a season called Jolabokaflod, or The Christmas Book Flood. As a result, Iceland publishes more books per capita then any other country selling most of them between September and November. According to old English folk tales, the Devil died when Jesus was born. So some towns developed a Christmas Eve tradition of ringing the church bells near midnight to announce the Devil s demise. In England this custom was called tolling or ringing the Devil s knell. Scotland has historically made a much bigger deal of celebrating Hogmanay (the last day of the year, a.k.a. New Year s Eve) than Christmas. In fact, the latter holiday was banned by the country s Parliament for more than 300 years, and was only made legal again in The Grinch who Scrooged Scotland out of Christmas was 16th century minister John Knox, leader of the Reformation and founder of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. He believed Christians should only celebrate holidays mentioned in the Bible. So Christmas was strongly discouraged starting in 1583, and officially prohibited by law in In Argentina, Christmas customs are a blend of American, European, and Hispanic traditions. Their celebrations typically include the boots of Father Christmas, red and white flowers, and putting cotton on Xmas trees to simulate snow. But most family gatherings take place on Christmas Eve, with huge feasts, gifts exchanged at midnight, and children going to sleep to the sound of fireworks. In Peru, December 24th, which is known as La Noche Buena ( the Good Night ), is the main day for celebrations. After mass, families go home to feast, open gifts, and toast each other at midnight. The most important decorations are pesebre Nativity scenes intricately carved from wood or stone. Gifts are spread around the manger rather than a tree, and it s considered lucky to be the one chosen to put the figurine of baby Jesus into the manger on Christmas Eve. greenglobaltravel.com
