Lol nice thread.. i lol'd at the pig.

Uhm we dont do christmas o_o

 

Poor pig :[

 

we celebrate Christmas by exchanging gifts and stuffs and buying gift for the people important to u..
and having a Family Dinner in the 24th and another one on the 25th.

there are also many people (mostly children) who will sing Christmas Songs and ull give them money or anything.

we also have evening masses until the 25th. (they said wen u completed all the evening mass u get 1 wish)


(got this from net)

 

Here in Australia, we get DRUNK and go to the BEACH.

 

I live in The Netherlands and when it comes to x-mass, this country doesn't do much. Most people don't even buy a tree, I am one of those people. Some people celebrate with their families, but since I don't have much family left that isn't an option either.

I'm going to have some dinner with a girl and hopefully get laid.

 

In Portugal, we kill a pig as well,but before Christmas, On Christmas eve we eat turkey and then party all night with my family ; )

 

Romania \m/

 

I think i'll do the same since i'm in Italy now.
/sad.

 

In Portugal the tradition of gift-giving was defined mostly by the strong Christian religious beliefs of the people. Children await the coming of the Three Wise Men during Christmas time. On the eve of January 5th children place their shoes along windowsills and doorways and fill them with carrots and straw. They do this hoping that this will lure the wise men's horses to their houses during the night and that they will find their shoes packed with gifts and treats in the morning. The treats left is more likely to be candied fruits and sweet breads.
They have a feast known as the consoda which takes place on the morning of Christmas Day. They set extra places at the table for the souls of the dead. They give a gift of food to these souls and hope that by doing so the fortunes of the next year will be good.

 

For me it wil not be very nice this christmas cuz im in spain without my romania frends

 

nice)).................

 

My christmas tradition is to go around and get boinged everyday for the twelve days of christmas.

Sadly the first girl usually doesn't agree to be boinged on the first day of christmas, the second day of christmas, the third day of christmas, the fourth day of christmas, the fifth day of christmas, the sixth day of christmas, the seventh day of christmas, the eighth day of christmas, the ninth day of christmas, the tenth day of christmas, the eleventh day of christmas, and then finally the twelveth day of christmas.

usually only makes it to the seventh D:

 

Well in Hungary we do kill pigs as well ( pretty much an Easter-European tradition ) but afterwards ... nothing special.

I'm usually being asked to do lesser performances on different Xmas shows in Malls or at some stores (Trial Bike Shows)

But despite of the regular days , I don't go out & get drunk with my friends at Christmas , I'm trying to spend every minutes with my family , since I'm not in the lucky position anymore to see them day by day ( except for my sister who I'm raising ^^ )

 

got arrested last christmas 0.0 woke up in jail, one minute we are in a bar the other we are sitting in jail
ahhh to think of the things we did

 

Well when it comes to Greece, people tend to decorate little ship models instead of Christmas trees (not all of them do it, but some still do, especially those who live in islands) and they look something like that:


^^
Ps: I'm not one of those. I prefer the whole I-decorated-a-Christmas-tree situation

 

Dimi you never fail to surprize me ~

 

I know right:lol:

 

don't particularly celebrate christmas, but we did go to church together with my family. hope i can get back soon to indonesia this christmas miss my parents.
