  • This is yuour Christmas Around the World: Weekly Traditions podcast.

    Welcome to "Christmas Around the World," a festive journey through the unique holiday traditions that bring joy and cheer to families globally. I'm your host, and I'm excited to share these heartwarming stories with you.

    Imagine a Christmas Eve where the cemetery is aglow with candles, a tradition cherished by 75% of Finnish families. They visit the graves of their loved ones, placing candles in a beautiful display of remembrance. And after a hearty Christmas dinner, it's time for the "joulusauna," or Christmas sauna, a tradition that dates back centuries. Families gather in the sauna, sharing treats and stories, and don't forget to leave some for the "saunatonttu," the sauna elf, believed to bring good fortune.

    Let's travel to France, where Christmas festivities culminate on January 6th, the Epiphany. The French celebrate with a delicious "Galette des Rois," a flaky pastry filled with a hidden "fève." Whoever gets the slice with the "fève" becomes the king or queen for the day, wearing a paper crown and enjoying royal treatment. This tradition traces back to Ancient Rome, where slaves were freed for a day and a king was chosen at random.

    Now, let's visit the Philippines, where the festive season, known as the "Ber Months," starts as early as September. The country is filled with the sounds of Jose Mari Chan, the local equivalent of Mariah Carey, and the sale of holiday decorations like "parols," star-shaped lanterns. On Christmas Eve, families gather for a "Noche Buena" feast, followed by Midnight Mass for the devout. The season doesn't have a clear end date, but some consider the Epiphany in January as the last day.

    Let's take a moment to engage with our audience. We'd love to hear about your favorite holiday traditions. Share your stories with us on social media using the hashtag "ChristmasAroundTheWorld." We'll feature some of your stories in our next episode.

    As we wrap up this festive journey, remember that Christmas is a time for sharing love, kindness, and joy. Whether it's through a candlelit cemetery, a flaky pastry, or a star-shaped lantern, each tradition reminds us of the importance of family and community.
