Christmas around the world
How the world keeps Christmas
One country at a time: its traditions, a recipe card to make, the pantry to shop and a Christmas movie with a tie-in.
Britain A British Christmas A pudding stirred for luck, a cracker at every plate, carols from King's and a mince pie left out for Father Christmas. Step inside
Italy An Italian Christmas A feast of fish on Christmas Eve, the first nativity scene, bagpipers in the piazza and a panettone to share. Step inside
Denmark A Danish Christmas Candles on the tree, a dance around it hand in hand, an almond in the rice pudding and a pan of warm æbleskiver. Step inside
Norway A Norwegian Christmas Bells at five, the almond in the porridge, a town made of gingerbread and a stack of warm lefse. Step inside Traditions at home
The customs we keep every December
The traditions American families keep year after year, with a card to print, the pieces to shop and the movies that share them.
