and somewhere it's sunny and hot.
But everywhere is cheerful and festive.
Christmas in Italy
Christmas in Italy is three days. It symbolizes
abundance and generosity, because once
upon a time bakers gave their poorer
neighbors kosunac as gifts. Even nowadays,
Italians prepare a special cake called
panettone, full of tangerines, chocolate and
raisins. Night continues with playing family
games. A traditional Christmas figure in
Italian is the Befàna - old witch on a
broomstick bearing gifts.
 Christmas in France
In France, children stay up all night waiting for Pere Noel to come by
with his sleigh. They put candles in the windows to show him where he
should go. The traditional pastry is called a bush - a chocolate roll with
glaze. The main dish is turkey with a garnish of chestnuts or rooster.
 Christmas in Brazil
The holiday is called Dia de festas., and Santa Claus is called Papai Noel. In Brazil,
temperatures are high during Christmas, so people welcome the holiday on the beach
in their swimsuits. The treat includes fruit salads, ice cream and many types of
cocktails.
