I like this American tradition: the R.C.C Tree is a large Christmas tree placed in Rockefeller Center on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, the tree is lit by the Mayor of New York City and 125 million people visit the attraction each year. Marco

On December 6th St Nicholas is celebrated. It is the day awaited by children. St Nicholas brings gifts to good children and puts them in clean boots. The night before (December 5th) you have to clean your boots and when you wake up the next morning you find a lot of beautiful things! Ioana

On 6th January there is an Italian tradition which children love! It is Epiphany Day and the Befana comes to bring children presents, gifts (especially games, dolls, toys) and a Stocking full of sweets! Befana can bring also pieces of sugar coal (if the child was naughty during the year!) We don't receive Christmas Stocking but the befana Stocking! Class 1E

One of my favourite Christmas traditions is Christmas crackers.They are colored paper tubes, closed as a candy shape. They are used as placeholder. To open a Christmas Cracker two people have to pull it simultaneously. Gabriele and Daria
