But unlike many European countries where Christmas time is during the winter, in Australia, Christmas falls during the summer.</li> <li>One of the most popular Australian Christmas traditions is to have a barbecue with friends and family. This is sometimes done at the beach, but more often takes place in a backyard or garden.</li> <li>Although many Australian Christmas decorations are similar to those seen in European or North American households, some feature native Australian plants and flowers, for example, the eucalyptus and the flannel flower.</li> <li>Outdoor Christmas lights and displays are commonplace in Australia, and it’s common for neighborhoods to hold competitions to celebrate the houses with the best decorations.</li> <li>Christmas caroling is a popular Australian Christmas tradition, and organised caroling events are often held in churches and schools.</li> <li>Families and friends commonly exchange gifts on Christmas Day.</li> <li>Although Christmas Day is Australia’s main day of celebration, Christmas Eve (the day before Christmas) is often marked with a special meal or party. As in the UK and US, children are encouraged to leave out a glass of sherry and a mince pie (or similar foods and drinks) for Santa Claus.</li> <li>In recent years, Secret Santa gift exchanges, where each person is assigned to buy a gift for someone else and the identity of the gift giver is kept secret until the gift is opened, have become more popular, especially among groups of friends or work colleagues.</li> <li>Christmas Day is an Australian public holiday, and people often spend the day relaxing at home with their families or going to the beach.</li> <li>At Christmas time many Australians think about those less fortunate than themselves. On Christmas Day many Australians donate their time or money to charities or local organisations.</li><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-711" data-method="ai-placeholders" class="ezoic-autoinsert-ad"></span><span data-ez-ph-id="711"></span> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Australian Christmas Food</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Just like in the UK, one of the most popular traditional Christmas foods in Australia is roast turkey, served with stuffing, gravy, roast potatoes and, roasted vegetables.</li> <li>Another popular Christmas dish is glazed ham, sometimes served with pineapple, cherries, and mustard.</li> <li>Prawns (called shrimp in the US) are a popular choice for a Christmas seafood dish, and they are often served as a starter or as part of a seafood platter. They are often a key part of a traditional Australian Christmas barbeque.</li> <li>Pavlova (a dessert made with a meringue base and topped with whipped cream and fruit) is a traditional Australian Christmas dessert.</li> <li>Mince pies (small pastry-encased tarts filled with a mixture of dried fruit and spices) are also popular at Christmas time in Australia, as is fruitcake, sometimes served with a glass of sherry or port.</li> <li>Another popular Australian Christmas dessert is plum pudding. This is made with dried fruit, nuts, and spices and is a very rich pudding. It is often referred to as Christmas pudding and is usually served with brandy butter or cream.</li><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-709" data-method="ai-placeholders" class="ezoic-autoinsert-ad"></span> <li>Snags, a type of sausage, are often cooked on an Australian Christmas barbeque.</li> <li>Lamingtons, small chocolate-coated sponge cake squares rolled in coconut, are a popular Australian Christmas treat.</li><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-712" data-method="ai-placeholders" class="ezoic-autoinsert-ad"></span><span data-ez-ph-id="712"></span> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Australian Christmas Markets</h2> <p>Christmas Markets have become more popular in Australia in the last few years.

It is a national contest for children to perform Christmas carols, and it is televised on Christmas Eve.</li> <li>The Boxing Day Test is an annual cricket match held on 26th December at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It has become a popular tradition for many Australians and is often watched on television in many of the country’s households.</li> <li>Christmas bush (also known as bottlebrush) is a popular Christmas plant in Australia, and it is often used in Christmas decorations.</li> <li>The Christmas beetle, a type of brightly colored scarab beetle that is common in Australia in the weeks around Christmas, is often associated with an Australian Christmas.</li> <li>“Merry Christmas, mate!” is a typical Australian festive greeting.</li> </ul> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href="https://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Christmas-in-Australia-2.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="600" height="714" src="https://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Christmas-in-Australia-2.jpg" alt="Decorated Australian Christmas tree on a sandy beach" class="wp-image-9710" srcset="https://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Christmas-in-Australia-2.jpg 600w, https://primaryfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Christmas-in-Australia-2-252x300.jpg 252w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"/></a></figure></div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-9582" class="post-9582 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-christmas"> <div class="blog-item-wrap"> <a href="https://primaryfacts.com/9582/christmas-in-portugal/" title="Christmas in Portugal: Facts About Portuguese Christmas Traditions"> </a> <div class="post-inner-content"> <header class="entry-header page-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://primaryfacts.com/9582/christmas-in-portugal/" rel="bookmark">Christmas in Portugal: Facts About Portuguese Christmas Traditions</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on"><i class="fa fa-calendar-alt"></i> <a href="https://primaryfacts.com/9582/christmas-in-portugal/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2022-09-26T12:40:40+00:00"></time><time class="updated" datetime="2022-09-26T12:40:41+00:00"></time></a></span><span class="byline"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://primaryfacts.com/author/james/">James</a></span></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>According to numbers published by the Pew Research Center in 2021, more than 75% of the population of Portugal identifies as Roman Catholic.

Pai Natal leaves Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree or in shoes placed by the fireplace.</li><li>Some people in Portugal say that Christmas presents are brought by the Baby Jesus and not Pai Natal (Father Christmas).</li></ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional Christmas Food in Portugal</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>The traditional Christmas meal in Portugal is called Consoada. It is eaten by families on Christmas Eve, and it includes cod (bacalhau), green vegetables, boiled potatoes, and boiled eggs.</li><li>Sometimes this meal is accompanied by octopus and shellfish. In some Portuguese households, turkey is eaten during the Christmas period.</li><li>Popular Portuguese Christmas desserts include Lampreia de ovos (an egg-based dessert served in the shape of a fish), rice pudding, and Filhos (dough balls flavored and decorated with fruit).</li><li>The traditional Christmas cake of Portugal is known as Bolo Rei (King Cake). A gift and a broad bean are often hidden in the middle of the cake. The finder of the gift is allowed to keep it, but the finder of the broad bean must either make or pay for next year’s Bolo Rei.</li><li>Portuguese families eat Portuguese biscuits (azevias) and sweets (felhozes) around Christmas, and the adults drink port, wine, and ginjinha (an alcoholic drink made from sour cherries). Sweet oval-shaped biscuits called broas de natal are also popular. These are made from sweet potatoes, almonds, and sugar.</li><li>At Christmas time, many Portugeuse tables are decorated with azevinho (holly).</li></ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Portuguese Christmas Church Services</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>After their Christmas Eve meal, many Portuguese families attend the midnight Missa do Galo (Mass of the Rooster) service at their local church. During the service, an image of the baby Jesus is presented and placed in the church’s nativity scene. Once the service has concluded, people return home to open their presents.</li><li>Many families have two present opening sessions, one directly after the Missa do Galo service, and another one on Christmas Day.</li></ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Christmas Decorations in Portugal</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>The Christmas nativity scene (Presepio) is an incredibly important part of a Portuguese Christmas. Some family nativity decoration sets include dozens of figures and animals, and they are added to by using moss and other natural elements to add detail to the scene.</li><li>In some households, presents are not to be opened until the baby Jesus figure has been placed into the nativity scene.</li><li>Many shops incorporate nativity scenes into their window displays, and local communities install giant ones along roadsides and on roundabouts. Live nativity scenes are also common, and they are a key part of the Christmas celebrations in communities all over the country.</li><li>In 2012, the town of San Paio de Oleiros set a world record for the largest moving nativity scene.</li><li>Although not a traditional part of Christmas celebrations in Portugal, since the 1970s Christmas trees have become much more commonplace.</li></ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Christmas Traditions in Portugal</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>In Braga on Christmas Eve people celebrate by eating bananas and drinking glasses of muscatel.</li><li> Obidos was the home to Portugal’s first Christmas Village, but now more and more towns and villages are hosting their own Christmas markets. In Lisbon, the biggest one is located in Eduardo VII.</li><li>In some parts of Portugal such as Guarda and Castelo Branco, large outdoor communal fires are lit on Christmas Eve, giving the community a chance to get together and wish each other a happy Christmas.</li><li>It is claimed that the Christmas tree in the city of Viana do Castelo is the largest one in Europe.</li><li>Christmas celebrations officially end in Portugal on 6th January.</li></ul> </div> </div><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-714" data-method="ai-placeholders" class="ezoic-autoinsert-ad"></span><span data-ez-ph-id="714"></span> </div> </article> <article id="post-8190" class="post-8190 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-christmas tag-argentinian-christmas-traditions tag-christmas-around-the-world tag-christmas-facts tag-christmas-in-argentina"> <div class="blog-item-wrap"> <a href="https://primaryfacts.com/8190/christmas-in-argentina/" title="Christmas in Argentina: Facts About Argentinian Christmas Traditions"> </a> <div class="post-inner-content"> <header class="entry-header page-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://primaryfacts.com/8190/christmas-in-argentina/" rel="bookmark">Christmas in Argentina: Facts About Argentinian Christmas Traditions</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on"><i class="fa fa-calendar-alt"></i> <a href="https://primaryfacts.com/8190/christmas-in-argentina/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2017-01-19T11:59:12+00:00"></time><time class="updated" datetime="2017-01-19T11:59:12+00:00"></time></a></span><span class="byline"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://primaryfacts.com/author/james/">James</a></span></span> <span class="comments-link"><i class="fa fa-comments"></i><a href="https://primaryfacts.com/8190/christmas-in-argentina/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Here are some facts about Argentinian Christmas traditions, celebrations and customs.</p> <ul> <li>Christmas in Argentina is a popular holiday, which starts in early December, and lasts until Epiphany on January 6th.

Grilled ham, venison or fish is common, as well as desserts including fruit salad, meringues and ice cream.</li> <li>A popular gift at Christmas in New Zealand is a pair of jandals, a shoe that is a combination of sandals and flip-flops. Father Christmas is often shown as wearing sandals.</li> <li>Santa comes down the chimney, visits homes and delivers gifts on Christmas Eve, as in the UK and the US. Children often leave a carrot for the reindeer and some pineapple chunks for Santa.</li> <li>The window display at Smith and Caughey’s department store in Auckland is a popular sight at Christmas. The display often features animated puppets and traditional New Zealand music.</li> <li>Also popular is the Santa parade in Auckland.
