Christmas is a famous event in many countries around the world. Here are three countries, Alaska, Africa and Australia. They are all located in different parts of the world, each with their own traditions and celebrations. Here are some of the fascinating traditions and celebrations.
Alaska - "carrying stars" is a traditional Christmas matrix. Young people and the old man usually adorn the ring of fine decorations of 8 points as big as an umbrella. They are highlighted with a central picture on either the angel or the birthplace. They will be rented for three days from 7th January, borrowing a frozen snowy road. The star represents an angel who announced the birth of Christ. My family keeps the stars wonderfully. Some are over a hundred years old!
Africa - celebrating Christmas There are about 3.5 million Christians in Africa. It focuses on the religious celebration of the birth of Christ, not a gift. The most common gift (nothing else) is the new clothes that you can wear in the service of the church. People in many countries in Africa, such as the Central African Republic (CAR), Uganda, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo, think that it is necessary to attend church without attending Christmas definitely in a year . An annual Christmas ceremony and a group of Carols singing Christmas carols in the village became part of the festival.
The African church will prepare the intestines several months ago for Christmas. It is said that the whole country is preparing for the birth of Jesus baby because it is being actively enjoyed and making communities, so it is said that the street is not only music, but also on radio and television It is alive. Regardless of religious persuasion, people will happily visit friends and relatives in the spirit of celebrating the region. It is common to see trucks, cars, buses, homes, schools, churches and neighborhoods that are decorated brighter and colorfully. I often show creative celebration demonstrations with colored crepe paper. The colorful and lively festive is Africa! The old and spectacular camouflage called the local "Aggu" will greatly help Christmas celebration. Normally after the Christmas Eve service, local bands will perform dance and music through the streets, along with the dancing masquerade (usually a young boy in a flashy and colorful costume) and Christmas rioters . People usually parade a complex large lantern called "fans" in the form of houses and boats.
In Ghana, there are no Huhu (heavy fabric like food) and okra soup, Christmas dinner is not perfect in Liberian rice, beef, biscuits. Make sure you have plenty of bread, jam and tea you can eat with prized goat meat which is a traditional Christmas roast of Zimbabwe. On the west coast of Africa, most homes have a Christmas tree oil palm.
Austria - St. Nicholas is widely honored and appears on the December 6th holiday. In Austria, this is a different holiday than Christmas. He appears in the eldest son of Bishop who has a traditional flowing robe dress and pastor's staff and a thick book. It is believed in his book that the acts of right and wrong of a child are recorded! It was traditional to hold an elaborate Christmas Eve ceremony where St. Nicholas and the feared Ruprecht (with hidden devil creatures with shining eyes and a long red tongue) appear at Christmas Eve. The children gather and sing hymns to welcome the saints. Then, the children participate in the Bible one by one at the family table, check the books of the lessons, and ask them to repeat the prayer. This tells the kids to kiss on the bishop's ring and instructs them to put the shoes on at 10 o'clock. Lepprahit is standing across the door looking at children moving every time! Sprinkle them with sacred water before Saint Nicholas leaves, bless the children and start quietly and quickly. Children who felt great excitement quickly put their shoes outside the house. With the stroke of 10 children, going out to find their shoes filled with apples and nuts' fear!
Austria is a Catholic country renamed Mozart, Strauss, Schubert's music and the land of the house's echo. Christmas celebration includes Innsbruck's "Advent Concert Series".

They request over 100,000 tickets for 30,000 prizes that can be entered each year. For traditional Christmas dinners fish carp is offered.
Austria is famous for its small crush character. Almost all families have crushes with small dolls of sacred lines and often contain few animals. Many sculptures have been passed on for centuries, precious heirlooms from one generation to the next generation!
Austrian Festival - Birthday boys and girls (reminiscent of the three eastern wise men who were looking for the newly born Jesus) sing traditional songs in Oriental costumes. They will take home a small gift containing money gifts and move home from home. They have a lantern called "Bethlehem's shining star" to guide their way. For the tranquoise of their entrance and exit, it is common for the acronyms of the wise person "CMB" (Casper, Mel heol, Balthasar) to be choked.
Fun Austrian tradition of Krampus Day - December 5th in Salzburg is known as Krampus Day. Krampus is believed to be a demon. He usually wears a deer's horn, a long red tongue and a red eyed inflatable mask, a white birch stick and is wearing a sleeping fur. He uses the giant cowbell and rattling chain to beat the city with a racket loudly. Thousands including many children are clustered in the streets to see medieval events. With lots of laughter and Mary making, whenever children and adults view Krampus, they throw snow balls in this threatening appearance. Every year in the town, "Krampus run" is fun, it is held with jokes, beatings and laughter. The aim of Krampus is said to remind children of good things!
In some recent communities, Krampus actors have to be numbered, so if control is loose it can be identified under the mask. It is known to run away after dropping some too many snaps and beers. A prominent Austrian child psychiatrist insists on the ban on Crimps. He suggests for "a terrible old fear" for his children. However, there were some known "Krampus trauma" cases!
