Merry Christmas

Some interesting Christmas traditions from around the world: 

In Germany, a pickle ornament is put on the Christmas tree for good luck

In Brazil, Santa enters the house through a window

In Italy, rather than a  tree, a wooden pyramid is decorated with fruit

A British tradition says that a wish made while stirring the Christmas
pudding in a clockwise direction will come true

Don't send red Christmas cards to friends in Japan where a red card
is traditionally used for funeral notices

During the Christmas parade each year, Hollywood Boulevard in
Hollywood is officially renamed Santa Claus Lane for the day

The Czech people have a lot of traditions and superstitions for Christmas.
One is that everyone gets up from the dinner table at the same time, otherwise,
the first person to get up will be the first to die in the next year.

A Happy & Blessed Christmas to All
