Are you
ready for Christmas?? Have you decided yet how to decorate your table?
The ideal
is to glance at the different Christmas traditions around the world.
On the
African west coast, the preparations for
Christmas proceed during the whole week before,and on the Eve's evening all the
kids run along the city streets singing songs that announce the Christ Child's
arrival. Christmas dinner is outdoor of course and the typical dish, “fufu” is
hand eaten with relish! In all the decorations there are always some small
bells!!!!
In
Australia the Christmas tradition is connected with the high summer
temperature! On the Eve's evening they sing all the Christmas carols outdoors,
with a lighted torch in their hands. The Christmas dinner is always outdoors
and if possible on the beach!
The
decor idea is definitely inspired by the beautiful and colorful Christmas Bush!
The
celebrations in Austria start with Santa Claus party and find their summit
on Christmas Eve!
Christmas
Eve dinner is the most important and before midnight they open the presents!
Austrians love very tall and eatable table decorations, as their emperors used
to once upon a time, not bad as a decor idea!!!!
Brazilian
tradition is mainly tied to the manger representation.
On the 24th the Messiah's arrival is staged and
celebrated with fireworks and eating
till late!
Christmas
ornaments in Brazil are mainly fresh flowers and Christmas lights!
Did you get
any inspiration from this world tour?
You can
choose your own style and do what you feel like!
Even at
Christmas you can be ecosustainable!
A golden
table is definitely very elegant.
Colorful
ornaments are original and amusing.
