Click Here In a two hour Christmas Carol radio show it is difficult to include all
of the content that I have for Christmas traditions around the world. So
the following traditional Christmas customs highlight the foods eaten
during the Christmas season. It was enlightening to hear about customs
that people have during December surrounding the events of Advent,
Hanukkah, St Stephen's Day, St Nicholas Day, the Epiphany, Christmas Eve,
and traditions surrounding the use of Christmas trees. Click on the
country to listen to the traditions for that country.
