Meet Sarah!
Cristmas is around the
corner. Usually her family celebrates by decorating a tree, exchanging gifts and sharing
a simple dinner. However, Sarah is really bored of these traditions and wants
to see how Christmas is
celebrated in different parts of the world. This is why Sarah is having
an online get together with her global friends. She shares with them that she usually has to
help her mother prepare
the traditional turkey for Christmas dinner.
Yuri from
Japan says that turkey is not part of a traditional Japanese Christmas dinner.
It is actually Kentucky Fried Chicken.
In fact KFC is so popular
in Japan during Christmas that reservations must be made weeks in advance. Sarah
can hardly imagine
that.
Gopal jumps
in to say that Christmas trees are different in India too, as fir trees are
rare the locals decorate
mango trees with Christmas ornaments instead.
But what
about Santa Claus. Everyone must believe in that right? Isabelle from Italy
tells Sarah that's not true everywhere. Italians believe in an old witch called La Befana instead
of Santa Claus. On January 5th she rides the skies and just like Santa jumps down chimneys and
tiptoes into children's homes to give them presents
