Christmas differences - Brazil x UK

Hi everyone,

It has been really interesting to see the cultural differences regarding the way people in England and people in Brazil celebrate Christmas.

Here are some differences that stand out so far:

• They wear Christmas jumpers everywhere...and Christmas dresses! 
  

They really love Christmas and they love to show it. You will find small children, elder people, young people going to the supermarket and to the pubs wearing the cutest festive patterns. It is lovely and brings people into the Christmas vibe.

• The food is quite distinct as well
  

They have turkey like we Brazilians do but forget about Bacalhoada, Tender and farofa. Here they have the Christmas pudding and Christmas cake.

• Christmas crackers and people wearing crowns in restaurants

Christmas cracker is a tradition segmented cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper with a prize in the middle that is pulled apart by two people. Inside it, you will find a colourful party hat, a toy or gift, and a festive joke. It is one of the most beloved traditions in U.K.

I will find out more tomorrow, but for now, I wish you all a happy Christmas with lots of love, peace, and hapiness.
