Christmas is a Christian tradition. So, don't think that everybody celebrates it at everywhere. In places such as China, Arabian countries or India you will not see Christmas lights at the streets, adorns in the houses or presents under the fir. However, Christians in different parts of the world have some odd traditions that now we're going to see:
INDIA
There are 25 million Christians in India. And they have changed the fir by a banana tree! They also use the banana tree leaves to decorate their houses and streets. Look at the photo below:
On Christmas day, single women have a singular tradition in Czech Republic. They throw a shoe at the door house. If the shoe toe points to the door, it means that they are going to find their true love very soon.
FINLAND
On Christmas eve, Finns use to visit the tombs and graves of their ancestors, lighting candles in memory of them. Is like our All Saints day (1st of November), but colder and with snow (Look at the photo below)
