In Belgium we celebrate Christmas on the
25th with all the family. Everyone is
together, cousins, uncles, aunts, brothers,
sisters. We have a Christmas tree, we call it
a sapin. There are just a few presents under
the tree. Before Christmas we each pick a
piece of paper out of a hat which will have
a family member's name on it. We then buy
a present for that person, so everybody
gives one present and everybody receives
one present. For food, we eat a traditional
meal called a raclette. You heat some cheese
with a special machine so it melts and then
you scrape off the melted cheese. We have
potatoes and dried meats with it. That's a
normal Belgian Christmas!

A traditional Australian Christmas for me
would involve hot weather and a barbecue,
but not on the beach because I'm from the
west. We all sit around the Christmas tree
in nothing but a pair of shorts because it's
so hot. We get our presents on Christmas
Eve, which is the German tradition. We
have dinner, clean up, open our presents
and then go out. In terms of what we eat, it
would usually be a roast. We used to have
our own ducks and geese so that's what we
would eat.

It's a family day, for some people Santa
comes on Christmas Eve, but for others it's
Christmas morning. We have a big dinner
on Christmas Eve and then another big
lunch on Christmas Day. What you eat really
depends on what part of Spain you come
from. In the north, where my wife's family
and my father's family are from, they just
eat seafood, so lots of fresh fish and things
like that. In Spain turkey isn't very popular
so we normally eat chicken after we've had
some cold starters. We love food in Spain
so that day is a big day for us, we eat too
much, non-stop from Christmas Eve all the
way through Christmas Day. We also enjoy
drinking red wine, white wine and
champagne. I have all my family coming
over for a week as it's hard for me to get
back there because of all the fixtures in
England. My brothers and all their kids will
come and we will celebrate Christmas, then
we celebrate New Year with my wife's
family.

When I am able to be back home for
Christmas I spend it with my friends and
family. In my town in Belgium New Year is
celebrated more than Christmas, so there is
always a lot going on around that. A lot of
people in Belgium like fondue, so that,
along with vegetables, is very popular at
Christmas.
Marco van Ginkel
In Holland Christmas isn't as big as it is in
England or Germany, where you have all the
nice Christmas markets. A lot of people in
Holland go to Germany or England because
in those countries it's such a big event, but
a lot of things are similar. On Christmas
Day you have dinner with your family, so
it's always nice to be all together. The city
I'm from is very small, but it's close to
Utrecht. I've been to Winter Wonderland in
Hyde Park which I really enjoyed, I've
never been to a Christmas market like that
so it was a lot of fun for me.
Tomas Kalas
In the Czech Republic, like everywhere, it's
all about family. My parents are divorced so
I spend the 23 rd with my mother, 24 th
with my father and 25 th with all the
grandparents, so it's like I have three
Christmas Days. In my city, Olomouc, the
population is only 100,000, so compared to
London it's just like a tiny village, but in
the main square there are lots of decorations
and that sort of thing, so it's very festive, a
bit like Winter Wonderland. We have fish
on Christmas Day, which is the tradition.
Some people eat meat, although nobody has
turkey, it's not something we eat in Czech
Republic.
Cesar Azpilicueta
We have a big dinner on the evening of the
24 th with all the family, which is when we
receive our presents as well. The food we
eat is not what you would class as
traditional Christmas food, we don't really
eat turkey, like they do in England. We
usually have fish, which is very popular
where I come from in Spain. It's just a nice
time to spend with all your friends and
family.
Samuel Eto'o
In Cameroon, there is a gathering with all
the family on the 24 th and we celebrate in
the evening, the people drink beer, and on
the 25 th , they go to the church. Chicken is
the traditional food and most of the people
eat that. When you give presents depends,
some are to the family the night before, on
the 24 th , and some wait until the 6 th
January. The decorations are the same as in
England, a lot of lights on the streets.
Oscar
These days are very important for the
people in Brazil and they stay in their
houses and celebrate at home with their
family. They decorate the houses inside
with little lights and in the streets there are
big lights. The children find presents under
the bed in the morning on Christmas Day.
For food the people eat chicken or pork but
not beef and dessert is something like ice
cream, nothing special. This year my family
are with me in London.

Mikel
We go to church that day, come home to eat rice and chicken and drink plenty of bear.
