Another branch of Christianity, the Orthodox Church, celebrates Christmas on January 7th every year.
customs of various countries:
1. Britain
British people pay the most attention to eating at Christmas, including roast pig, turkey, Christmas pudding, Christmas minced meat pie and so on. Every family member has a gift, and so does the servant. All the gifts are delivered on Christmas morning. Some Christmas carolers sing good news from door to door, and they will be invited into the house by their hosts, served with refreshments or given small gifts.
2. The United States
Because the United States is a country composed of many ethnic groups, it is also the most complicated situation for Americans to celebrate Christmas. Immigrants from various countries still follow the customs of their motherland. However, at Christmas time, the garlands and other unique arrangements outside the doors of Americans are the same.
3. China
Although Christmas is a festival imported from the west, it is no less popular in China than in other countries. In China, there is a custom of giving apples to friends and relatives on Christmas Eve, and this custom was actually initiated by China people. Apple's "apple" is homophonic with the "ping" of peace, so there is the custom of sending apples on Christmas Eve. Even foreigners admire the brains of China people.
4. France
Most adults in France go to church to attend midnight mass on Christmas Eve. After that, the family went to the oldest married brother or sister's home for a reunion dinner. This gathering is to discuss important matters at home, but in case of family disharmony, we will bury the hatchet afterwards, and everyone will be reconciled, so Christmas is a kind day in France.
