Christmas traditions

I read some articles the other day on the website share-christmas.com and it talks about different Christmas traditions in every country.
I thought you might be interested because it's interested to know how other people celebrate Christmas.

Basically what it talks about is that the Dutch children believe in Sinerklaas who lives in Spain. The evening before Christmas the children put hay and sugar into their shoes, for Sinterklaas' horse.
It also says that in Hungary Santa Clause is called Mikulas. Christmas dinner is a special Hungarian holiday meal which usually consists of fish, lentils and poppy seed strudel.
In Thailand, people don't believe in Jesus but they like decorating Christmas trees and putting up other decorations.

In my opinion it's very interesting to know about other traditions because they are sometimes very different from ours.
