Christmas in New Zealand
In New Zealand, like its neighbour Australia, Christmas comes in the middle of Summer holidays. My distant relation, that live in New Zealand tell me that there are lots of people out camping or at their Baches(holiday homes) for Christmas. Many towns have a Santa parade with decorated floats, bands and marching girls. This can be any time from mid November and is really a commercial event but much enjoyed by all. Many people have a Christmas Tree in their homes and decorate it in the USA or Britain. Many New Zealanders have a barbecue for Christmas lunch and this is becoming more popular. The food cooked on the barbecue is often be hot food such as ro
ast chicken, roast lamb, cold ham, hot shrimps and other fish are also barbecued!Desserts are also very popular! Many still have a hot fruit pudding with castard and ice cream but cold desserts are popular. These including pavlova and whipped cream, meringues, cold fruit salad, jelly and ice cream. Here is some recipes. People who like drink often over do the alcoholic drinks too. They open their presents on Christmas day once the whole family is all together. This is usually before the Chriatmas lunch. In the Maori language Merry Christmas is "Meri Kirihimete".
Christmas in Japan
Christmas is not widely celebrated in Japan as not many people there are Christians. However, several customs have come to Japan from the USA such as sending and receiving Christmas cards and presents.
In Japan, Christmas is known as more of a time to spread happiness rather than a religious celebration. Christmas Eve is often celebrated more than Christmas Day. Christmas Eve is thought of as a romantic day, in which couples spend together and exchange presen
ts. In many ways it resembles valentines day celebrations in the UK. and the USA.
In Japanese Merry Christmas is 'Meri Kurisumasu'. Parties are often held for children, with games and dancing. Japanese Christmas Cake is a sponge cake decorated with trees, flowers and a figure of Santa Claus.
Fried chicken is often the traditional meal of Christmas day. It is the busiest time of year for restaurants such as KFC and people can order at their local fast food restaurant in advance!!!
