In which country is Christmas celebrated? Help the gods.

Denmark, the Netherlands, the United States, Britain, Belgium, Germany, Italy and other western countries.

Denmark 1

On February 24th, 65438, a Christmas dinner was held from 6: 00 to 7: 00. Usually roast duck and strawberry pudding with cherry juice.

After dinner, we began to decorate the Christmas tree, then danced around it and sang Christmas carols. Santa Claus with a big bag full of gifts will suddenly appear at this time. Children should open the presents as soon as they get them, and Santa Claus will leave immediately. Generally speaking, when Santa Claus visits, an old man at home always happens to be out, so he always misses the chance to meet Santa Claus.

2. Netherlands

Saint Nicholas is "more popular" than Santa Claus in the Flemish region of the Netherlands and Belgium. People usually celebrate St. Nicholas's birthday on February 5, 65438, but it is actually 65438+February 6. Usually Saint Nicholas arrives on a steamboat full of gifts two weeks before Christmas. Saint Nicholas was born 1600 years ago in the ancient Roman city of Myra, which is now Turkey.

He is famous for his generosity and kindness to children. 326 years after his death, that is, 1087, his body was sent to Italy. Saint nicholas has been respected by people for hundreds of years, and many churches and towns are named after him. He is also the patron saint of sailors, travelers, children, prisoners, businessmen, lawyers, cities (Amsterdam) and countries (Greece and Russia).

On February 6th, 65438, all the children got presents from the old man with white beard riding a horse. After years of evolution, Spain has become his motherland. Except for Holland and Flanders in Belgium, the role and position of Saint Nicholas has been replaced by Santa Claus. It is also a pity that such a serious and sacred figure is a potbellied and smiling image.

This stems from the fact that a group of Dutch colonists arrived in New Amsterdam (now new york) during the Christmas celebration with a small statue of Saint Nicholas smoking a pipe. After that, Dutch-Americans will carry St. Nicholas's doll with them during wearing. 1809 washington irving, an American writer, wrote a joke about Santa Claus flying in the sky with a pipe in his mouth, which is the source of the popular poem Silent Night about saint nicholas sitting on a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer in 1823.

3. America

Because America is a diversified country, American imperialists have different ways to celebrate Christmas. Most traditions are similar to those in countries before family migration. However, no matter where a family comes from, Christmas dinner is an indispensable feast.

Western European families will prepare turkey or ham with cranberry sauce; Eastern European families prefer to use turkey with sausage, cabbage and soup; Italian families are more inclined to make lasagna. This is the same as when our country celebrates the New Year. The south eats glutinous rice balls, and the north eats jiaozi. Radish and cabbage, each to his own liking.

Many Americans, especially Christians, go to church to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Many churches sing Christmas carols on that day. People can hear many stories about Christmas from these Christmas carols.
