Christmas is celebrated around the world. While every family or community has their own traditions, there are certain regional traditions that are very specific and vary widely from region to region.

In Italy, from Rome south the traditional Christmas Eve dinner is that of seven fish. Throughout Italy, the Christmas Eve meals are traditionally meatless, given that the day is a day of abstinences in the Catholic Church. Another wonderful Italian culinary Christmas tradition is that of the Milanese Panattone. A sweet bread loaded with raisins, candied fruits and nuts. It is perfect for breakfast and makes incredible French toast.

Just north of Italy is Germany, where there is a rich tradition of the outdoor Christmas Markets. Despite the cold temperatures German families head outside to shop for classic Christmas goodies and to enjoy regional specific Christmas goodies. This tradition dates back to the 14th Century. The markets open during the end of November and stay open until right before Christmas Eve,

Another German tradition is that of Gluehwein and Stollen. Spiced Wine and the traditional German Christmas cake, loaded with raisins and nuts and covered in a sugar glaze are a time honored Christmas treat in German homes.

In Greece, Christmas is celebrated on December 25, unlike the celebration of Easter, which follows the Orthodox calendar. While Christmas in Greece is very important, it is a much more solemn holiday than in the West and therefore there are less gaudy decorations and more focus on the religious nature of the holiday.

In England the tradition of Wassailing dates back to the middle ages. Wassil, a heady mix of honey, ale and spices, is best shared among a group. Severed in a bowl or huge pewter or wooden mug, it would be passed around the group as a greeting. Traditionally the bowl would be carried from house to house celebrate and share a holiday greeting.

In England, Boxing Day is the day following Christmas. Traditionally and historically a day set aside for the poor, it is now a national holiday in England. In the 18th century and forward, the Lord and Lady of the manor would "box" up their leftovers and small gifts to provide to the servants of the manor house and tenants on their land. Since many of the household servants and other poorly paid workers would be required to work on Christmas Day, Boxing Day was the day they would go to visit their family.

In England during the 21st century, Boxing Day is a day to visit family, a day to offer small tokens to tradesmen, such as the milkman or postman. Families often gather to play board games and share a meal, enjoy a walk in the countryside or indulge in a break with tradition and go shopping, checking out the New Year sales early.

In Mexico the celebration of Christmas begins on December 16th with the nine days of Las Posadas. Las Posadas is a nine-day celebration, which includes candle lit processions and lively parties. Another wonderful Christmas tradition is the Shepard's plays. Professional groups and armatures put on these reenactments of the Christmas stories alike.

In Mexican houses, the principal Christmas decoration is the Nativity Scene. It is often built by hand and assembled over the course of the season.

In Brazil, the tradition of Las Pasadas is also widely practices, only in the Brazilian version of the plays, it is a shepherdess who is following the star and a gypsy woman who has designs on stealing the figure of the Christ child fro the nativity scene.

Brazil has a very multicultural history and many of their traditions vary widely by region, based upon immigration patterns. The same is to be said for Australia. It is also important to not that in both of these multicultural countries that it is summer, so many families celebrate Christmas by dining outdoors and enjoying the abundant sunshine and warm temperatures.

In India, even though Christians are a minority group, Christmas is still celebrated and is a good mix of British traditions from the colonial period and rich regional additions. In some areas banana trees and mango trees are decorated with lights. Greetings are shared with neighbors and parties are hosted. In urban areas, hotels and nightclub host office and families parties. Santa Klaus pays a visit to good boys and girls.

In Japan, less than 1% of the population is Christian, but Christmas is celebrated nonetheless. For Christians the holiday is less about exchanging gifts with family members and more about sharing good cheer with the poor and especially those who are in the hospital. Many businesses and private homes decorate with evergreens and bows.

No matter how the holiday is celebrated, Christmas is about love and compassion & food and family. The greatest gifts of the season are togetherness and love, no matter the language or the food.
