The custom of kissing under Mistletoe comes from England. The original custom was that a berry was picked from the sprig of Mistletoe before the person could be kissed and when all the berries had gone, there could be no more kissing!

Red Robin is a traditional British bird, and is used as a Christmas symbol.

Türchen 12
Homes are decorated with Christmas trees from around the 12th of December. Evergreen trees are used. Presents are placed under the tree until Christmas day.

Türchen 9
From around the 8 December, in the Catalan area of Spain, families place a special Christmas log in a prominent position in the house. Nowadays, the log has a painted face and stands on legs! It is called El Tió de Nadal.
The log is kept covered with a red cloth and is looked after like a pet until Christmas Day. Children make sure that he is kept warmly covered and pretend to feed him every day, just like feeding a doll.

Then, on Christmas Day, children have fun hitting the log with a stick whilst singing a traditional song.
Why do they hit the log?
Well, to make it produce little gifts!
After singing the song and hitting the log with a stick, they put their hands under the cover to see if the log has produced anything. (When children aren’t looking, grown-ups place the gifts under the cover!)
Children keep singing songs and hitting the log to have more goodies. Eventually, when they can only find something like an onion or garlic, it means that the gifts have run out and the game is over!

Türchen 19
Christmas is a time for giving and receiving. We wrap gifts before giving them to family and friends.

Türchen 3
During Winter, many of the European countries will have snowfall. Children will then have lots of fun building snowmen and decorating them with Winter clothing, vegetables and coal.

Türchen 17
Children all around the World post their Christmas letters to a Father Christmas. Their letter includes a list of what they would like to receive on Christmas day.

Türchen 1
Here is a traditional Advent calendar which we use to countdown to Christmas.
