Christmas is coming! And that means that people are looking forward to have a good time with family and friends. Also, people are looking forward to the Christmas holidays or at least to have days off with Christmas.
When I was talking about Christmas with people from different cultures, I discovered that most of the countries only have one day of Christmas. In the Netherlands we have two days of Christmas on the 25th and the 26th of December. We have the first Christmas day and the second Christmas day. This are official public holidays.
In the most countries they have Christmas at the 25th of December.
In Finland, the 25th of December is a ‘quite’ Christmas day, which means that you just celebrate this with your family by having dinner together and by having a good time. The 26th is called ‘box day’. This day most of the people go out to be with friends, to invite neighbors and to visit relatives.
