Interview [Issue 18] The Holiday Season Around the World

[Vikingsrallentando 3,058]

Many, (not all) of us associate the cold weather with the "Holiday Season" which is composed of many holidays going on around the same time; from November through December. Today we are going to ask tankmen/tankwomen what all is celebrated in their country during this time.

 

The lucky few that were chosen to represent their country were asked: What holidays are celebrated in your country during November/December, and can you explain a little bit about each? To be specific, is Christmas celebrated or any of the things associated with it observed? How do you celebrate New Years (if at all)? Why are these holiday/event(s) celebrated? Do you personally observe any of these holidays?

 

Algeria represented by @youcefboy:

In Algeria , During November / December   We Celebrate About November Revolution In  The 1st Of November Every Year (Its Public Holiday So There's No School  Or Work...)

Bahrain represented by @shayanshiny:

We celebrated the Islamic new year which was on November 4, holiday on the Ashura day which was on 13 and 14 November, On December 16 and 17 we will celebrate Bahrain's national day. According to the Gregorian calender they celebrates there new year on 1st January and we celebrate our Islamic new year on 1st Muharram and for Ashura we get holiday for two days and we fast these days and On December 16 and 17 we celebrate the national day of Bahrain as a whole nation although I am Pakistani, we visit gardens and we roam here and there celebrating the day waving the flag and more.

I'm a Muslim so we do not celebrate Christmas and we do not celebrate the new year. :)

 

Bangladesh represented by @Farhan55:

In Bangladesh there are few national holiday celebrated nationwide and one of them is our Independence day in bengali known as Shadhinota Dibosh. It is celebrated in 16th December. We got our independence after 9 months war (from 25th March to 16th December) In our Independence day at early morning our prime minister and president both go to Smriti Shoudho (memorial monument/ this is were people buried who died in our liberation war) and give Shraddhanjali to respect those martyrs. Later that day normal people goes there and give Shraddhanjali to respect those martyrs. In that day people wear green and red cloths. And through the day we had fun and we eat our cultural food.

Our country is for people of every religion but maximum (90%) people are Muslim. We celebrate Christmas which in Bengali known as Boro din (Big day). In that day Christians, they decorate their house with trees and other stuffs like usual people do in Christmas. They also went to churches and worship. In television Christmas shows telecast. We also celebrate New Year and at 31st December night at 12 am, people blow fireworks. 

New year and Christmas are not celebrated that much but even though it is celebrated somehow.  :)

 

Brazil represented by @P3DRo0o:

Well to begin with it's not "winter holidays" here in Brazil. Us folks in the southern hemisphere have summer now instead of winter. Well your first question can be Googled with ease; November 15th we have Republic Day which marks the day the Empire of Brazil was no more and the beginning of the Brazilian Republic. We celebrate Natal (Christmas) every year, I'll let you guess what day that is. New Years Eve and New Years is celebrated on the 31st and the 1st. But how you celebrate each of these holidays really depends on where you are in Brazil. I personally can't say too much about how everything is celebrated because I've only lived here so long (even though I am Brazilian I only recently moved back to Brazil after living my whole life in other places) but I can definitely say Brazilians know how to celebrate with delicious  food, lots and lots of food. Fireworks are a thing, you'll be seeing a lot of that in the New Years, especially in Rio, the city and sea light up, it's quite a sight. But Brazil is a very big country and I'm sure each corner of Brazil will have their own special way to celebrate these festivals. I'm not going to state the obvious ways that I personally celebrate because I'm sure many do the same.

 

Bulgaria represented by @artty77:

In Bulgaria, Christianity started to spread as early as of 1 century, and by the 4'th century AD it became the dominant religion. Since then Christmas, along with Easter is one of the two biggest and most celebrated holidays, especially after the Christianity gained the status of an official religion of the state in 865 AD, with the forming of independent Archdiocese, and later the establishment of Independent Bulgarian Patriarchate, winning a recognition by both Rome and Constantinople, in times when the Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism rivaled each-other intensely for influence among the European population. Ever since the religions biggest holidays, such as Christmas itself, carry on the legacy of not only a spiritual, but also a political cornerstone for consolidation of our state on the continent. Notably for celebrating Christmas in Bulgaria is that, along the Greek, Romanian, Albanian, Finnish and some other eastern orthodox churches, it is celebrated starting on 24th, Christmas Eve, and on 25th of December, same as in Catholicism and the Protestant churches, fallowing the  Julian calendar, and unlike most of our orthodox brothers like in Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, Armenia, Georgia, Macedonia or Moldova and Ethiopia, who are fallowing the original date, according by the Gregorian calendar and celebrate it in January.
Traditionally on Christmas Eve, up until 12 AM midnight, you have 7, 9 or 11 meatless dishes, and another odd number of lenten dishes in compliance with the rules of Christmas fasting. Interestingly enough, it is to be expected for christian families in Bulgaria to pay visit or be visited by their none christian, mostly Muslim friends or neighbors, as same kind of shared celebration is also traditional during the peak days of the Ramadan in previous months. Also during Christmas, the tradition of caroling called Koledari is fallowed, starting  on Christmas Eve, visiting the houses of your relatives, neighbors and other people, wishing health, wealth and happiness.

New Year also is one of the biggest, and definitely the biggest and most celebrated day out of the religious calendar. At home, outside at a restaurant, and often fallowed by a tour in different clubs, and joints, in a house in the province or anywhere else, there is only one certain rule celebrating New Year, the more of your friends and family members celebrating, the better. Which can best be seen downtown's across the country, as people gather by thousands for organized parties, to welcome the first hours of the New Year. (Imagine the Time Square scenes, only locally lol) Also for good or bad, in Bulgaria in the peak of New Years night, you can witness one of the biggest and craziest fireworks outbursts on the globe, despite the fruitless efforts of the authorities to prevent it for its risks.  All in all, Christmas and New Year in Bulgaria, mark the week of the biggest celebrations throughout the whole year and are the favorite and most anticipated by everyone. :)

 

Canada represented by @TheLonelyEpic:

To be honest Canada is pretty laid back in winter festivities. Unlike our American brethren, we have already celebrated Thanksgiving in October and November is rather dull. Canadians are proud, though, to take November 11 off and attend ceremonies at 11:00 am for Remembrance Day. This is a tribute to all those who supported, fought in and died in the World Wars. However, during December the mood of Canada is very joyful and we have amazing celebrations. Our country is a melting pot of immigrants, but almost all enjoy a lovely Christmas with family and friends. Many events are held in the couple weeks leading to the day, including fantastical office parties and outdoor festivals of warm food, ice sculptures and some fun in the snow. People also put up decorations and lights all over their houses and yards, capped by the iconic tree in the center of the house. Christmas Eve is on December 24, a night of revelry and anticipation, with drinks and snacks always provided. The next morning everyone can be guaranteed to wake up very early, or very late, depending on how the last night went. Hopefully most gifts have already been snuck under the tree and into the stockings (not actual clothing, but hung and filled with smaller presents), but there's the one straggler hurrying to finish. People then eat what they got and hungrily wait for dinnertime. Similar to a Thanksgiving meal, a classic stuffed turkey is served, along with vegetables cooked every way possible. Sumptuous desserts follow, although occasionally they must be taken from a personal stash created from the morning's gifting. Canadians love their holidays so much that we actually decided to add a third day of celebration. Boxing Day is when our kind store owners discount products for a late Christmas present at only half the price for a one day wait. Not even seven days later another holiday occurs, one almost universally recognized: New Year's. Although in fact two separate days, it's only a single celebration, as people stay awake anticipating midnight, when the next year will officially begin. In Canada we'll be well stocked with snacking supplies to keep us going, while we enjoy watching the U.S. have New Year's parties. Few real Canadian gatherings happen, as an American news channel always flickers in the background, playing and replaying major U.S. cities counting down their time until the next year. December is a lot of fun in Canada and everyone enjoys partaking in the festivities.

 

Croatia represented by :

All Saint's Day and All Souls Day is holiday in which people go to cemetery to place lanterns and pray for the people who died.

On St. Nicholas Day children clean their boots and put woolen boots on the windows, if they were good they will get candy's, but if they weren't good they will get couple of wickers from person they call "Krampus"

Before Christmas Eve people usually decorate they houses and Christmas trees, On Christmas we give gifts to each other and we eat turkey or sometimes pork.

New Year in Croatia is celebrated like in most of the world I believe, we throw some firecrackers, drink champagne and shoot fireworks on the midnight.

My family observes some of those holidays, but not all actually ...

 

France represented by @UwH_BPL:

In France, we are celebrating the 1st of November, named "La toussaint", meaning celebrating all the saints, and remember all the dead. It's Halloween with no fun :).

In December, we are celebrating Christmas (called Noël), and new year's day. For people at school, there are holidays during those 2 weeks. For Christmas, some people are doing a great dinner on the 24th December, some are going to the church for midnight, and all children's are waiting for gift on 25th early morning. Young children believe that gift are given by 'Le père noël" (Santa Claus). And we are are still eating on 25th !!! (French love eating during 4 hours). Christmas is most of the time a day for a family to be together.

For new year's day, we organize a party on the 31th December, in family or with friends. Eating, drinking, and kissing under a bunch of mistletoe to which a very nice year at midnight to people we love.

 

Germany represented by @Barghest:

well we celebrate the 6th of December, because of Nikolaos of Myra who lived from 15 March 270 – 6 December 343.

Children polish their boots the night before and put one outside the door. Next morning are small gifts in there. (chocolate and sweets mostly)

The four Sundays before Christmas are celebrated only by lighting a candle on the first Sunday, 2 on the second, than 3 and than 4. It is called Advent.

Celebrating or preparing for Jesus second coming.

Christmas calendars are used as well to count down to Christmas.

In Germany we celebrate the 24th of December with all of the family and in the evening we open the presents. Families with small children will hire someone to play "Weihnachtsmann" (Santa Claus) and give the presents to the children. 

The 25th and 26th day spend we with the family and eat together. Often duck but it depends in which region someone lives.

New Year (Silvester) is celebrated from the evening of the 31st of December until the 1st of January. We celebrate together with friends and family and at 00:00 we drink champagne together and then light the firework.

 

India represented by @ExtremeKiller26:

As everyone knows, India is a land of festivals, in every month there is a festival. In the winters, during November and December. We celebrate a lot of festivals like Dhan teras, Diwali, Bhai duj, Children's day or Bal divas etc.

Dhan teras is a special "puja" in which people pray to the Goddess Lakshmi for money. Diwali is the festival of lights, children and adults burn crackers, light candles etc. In Bhai duj, the sisters tie a thick thread on the right hand of their brothers for their safety. Children's day is the day when Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, one of the freedom fighters and the first prime minister of India was born, he loved children, so this day is named as Children's day.

As these festivals pass, December comes. There is not really a lot of celebration of Christmas, but still, the little children hear stories, and restlessly wait for the next day, dreaming of Santa Claus giving them the gift of their choice. After this, the new year, which is celebrated greatly all over the world, is also celebrated in same way in India, as soon as  it gets dark, the countdown on channels starts to come up. As the clock stricks 12 PM people start to burn cracker, wish everyone happy new year, and go outside with friends to party. If you ever stay in India during the winters, you should wait a few days for one or two festivals, who knows they might be some of the best festivals in your life?

 

Lebanon represented by @ARENO-1998:

In Lebanon, on November 22 we celebrate the independence day where some people take a break from work or do work. On the other hand, we celebrate Christmas on December 31 or January 5 where we go to friend's home, eat foods, & open present. When the electricity cuts at 12:00 PM we congratulate them, give hugs & kisses, & sing Christmas songs in Armenian when we celebrate Happy New Year.

 

Lithuania represented by @domxxe65:

In Lithuania we have 2 main holidays when the year comes to an end. Christmas and New Year. We celebrate Christmas just like every other country, Christmas trees, other decorations and of course - gifts. We usually give others things that have a sentimental value, such as statuettes or small pets that make anyone's hearts warm. And Just as any other Eastern European country we celebrate New Year with a bang. To some of us this holiday is even more important than Christmas. There are fireworks in every street, every yard and actually anywhere you look, there are fireworks everywhere. And the main attribute of New Year's celebration is making parties. This is how Lithuanians greet the upcoming year.
 

Malaysia represented by :

In Malaysia, we don't really celebrated Christmas. But there are also family like Chinese peoples will celebrated their Christmas by eating together at house or at restaurant, giving present at each other and more. The way we celebrate New Year is we will go to a place called Dataran Merdeka (This is only have in Kuala Lumpur) we will listen to our Prime Minister speech and then there will be a fireworks. In Malaysia , there is many race like Indian, Chinese, Malaysian and more. Also in Malaysia, there is a slogan called 1Malaysia to make civil servants to more strongly emphasize ethnic harmony, national unity, and efficient governance. So by celebrating this we can bonds of friendship, meet new friends, and enjoy.

 

New Zealand represented by @whodat34:

Ok well first NZ does celebrate Christmas and in a few or our bigger cities have Santa parades and Christmas parades and a lot of things like that. As for my family they do a big get together thing with aunts uncles and cousins and everyone basically.
And for New Years NZ have a big Fireworks and happy New Year in the capital city Aukland and my family don't really celebrate New Years but a couple of us do stay up to NewYears.

 

Norway represented by @already.dead:

In Norway we celebrate Christmas and New Years Eve. During December we have a Christmas Calendar, where you get different prizes each day. (prizes depends on what calendar, some are chocolate, other could be lottery). On Christmas Eve ( 24. Dec) family/friends usually gather and eat. Also we have a Christmas tree with presents. The food varies from where you are from, but is usually pork ribs and ''pinnekjøtt'' which is lamb meat prepared in a special way. There is also Christmas beer and Christmas soda. On New Years we usually shoot fireworks and have a fun time with friends/family :)

 

Portugal represented by :

In November/December we just celebrate Christmas and New year ( in Portuguese Christmas=Natal New Year= Ano Novo), in Christmas Eve all families congregate and dine together, after the dinner we play games whit all family, at midnight the oldest person in the family speaks to the other members of the family, when he finish we OPEN presents, and after the presents all families go to their home and the great night finish.Portuguese people  do the traditional Christmas whit lots of Love.At the new year All Portuguese go to a hotel and they eat, drink and dance and all have a great time.. at midnight we make NOISE!! We celebrate  Chirstmas because is Jesus Christ birthday!! And New Year because it´s New Year Eve we like to party and celebrate!! My personal opinion is: I love all holydays/partys and  i love my family i really enjoy every party/holiday because i don´t have to work.

 

Romania represented by @bombardier1999:

In December we celebrate holiday called "Sfantul Nicolae" on 6...we clean our boots and arrange them next to a door and we're waiting for the next morning to get oranges,chocolate or a stick if we weren't good children. On 25 December we celebrate "Nasterea Domnului"and is also called "Craciun" when we can't sleep waiting for "Mos Craciun" and in the next morning we will look under "Brad" and see what gifts we have from"Mos". On 26 we celebrate second day from the Christmas and on 27 third day. 29 is important for all children because on that day have died 14.000 people at their age.

 

Singapore represented by :

We are actually very near the Equator, so we don't have a noticeable season of colder temperature and thus don't have the concept of "winter holidays". However, if you are talking about the time of the year, then it's a great relief for us students because the school year ends and we have our break. It's the longest break in the Jan-Dec school year, for a total of about 6 weeks. On the subject of holidays, there's the Indian festival of Deepavali, also known as the Festival of Lights, the more and more prominent Christian Christmas, and of course New Year's. In Singapore, we place a large amount of importance on racial harmony, and keep in mind that we have to respect other culture's traditions and festivals. So in school we usually do something to celebrate any major festival, including the two aforementioned. Even if I'm not Indian, I would still get to know more about this Indian festival through conversing with Indian friends and presentations during school. The city (Singapore is a city-state) would be momentarily decorated for the celebration, with most of the celebrations being centered around Little India, the heart of the Indian community in Singapore. Little India would be lit up in association with the "Festival of Lights" idea. As for Christmas, it falls during end-of-year break, and thus there isn't a school celebration. Despite that, it's celebrated in kinda the same way as a European or American Christmas, except that sadly it's more commercialized and features less of the spirit, as it really isn't something that has been celebrated for a long time. Churches hold services and people give presents and all, but it doesn't really have the same warm feeling. The city is also decorated, like Deepavali. Lots of people take advantage of the sales, as that's just how our culture is, to try and save as much money as possible. I actually do celebrate Christmas with my family, and we usually come together to have a Christmas dinner with turkey and all, and exchange presents. For New Year's, there are many organized countdown parties and fireworks that can be seen from anywhere in tiny Singapore as the major highlight. New Year's is universal for any place using the Gregorian calendar, so most people in Singapore share that. However, I never looked forward to New Year's as it meant the start of a new school year. I didn't have a tradition to celebrate New Year's, and neither did my family. Once again, every major cultural tradition is treated with importance in multi-racial and multi-religious Singapore, so even if I don't observe them, I will have learned about them and learned to respect them.

 

Slovenia represented by @xTremeAluminium:

In November we celebrate these holidays:

1st November - All Saints Day (Slovenian: dan spomina na mrtve): We remember all people who died, we usually go to their graves and put candles.

23rd November - Rudolf Maister Day (Slovenian: dan Rudolfa Maistra): On 23rd November 1918 Rudolf Maister disarmed the German security guards and dissolved it, and connected a bigger part of Slovenian nation and speech region of Štajerska and Koroška

In December we celebrate these holidays:

25th December - Christmas (Slovenian: Božič): We decorate our Christmas trees, before Christmas some people buy or make advent wreaths, which have 4 candles on it (4 candles represent 4 advent Sundays). Religious people celebrate Christmas by praying, going to churches. Christmas is a work/job free day.

26th December - Independence and Unity Day (Slovenian: dan samostojnosti in enotnosti): This day marks the declaration of plebiscite results on 26th December 1990, on which 93,2% of participated voters answered in the affirmative on the question "Should Slovenia become an independent country? / Ali naj Slovenija postane samostojna in neodvisna država?". From that day the independence of Slovenia started. From 25th June 1991 Slovenia is an independent country.

And as final, 1st January, New Year

It's an usual holiday. At 00:00 there are fireworks in cities like Ljubljana (capital of Slovenia), Maribor, Celje, Novo mesto ...

Here's a picture of 2013 New Year (01.01.2013) in Ljubljana. Till 2012, 2nd January was also celebrated as New Year Day. Now it's only 1st January, without 2nd.

 

Saudi Arabia represented by @D7D7:

Well,for Saudi Arabia we got 2 holidays in November\December,start of the new year on 5nov in our time we use different calender,on 21dec there will be December solstice,these two celebrated normally there is nothing interesting,some events occur all around the country roaming entertaining people,getting together meeting your family and your friends basic good time,also people at this time usually hunt, you know Saudi Arabia is just desert with lots of oil,desert hunt the hardest so it challenging for some people such as my father he is in love with hunting,and of course the usual fireworks show where fireworks go for like 5-4 hours wonderful view for holiday ending.

 

United Arab Emirates represented by @Irontank1v:

U.A.E is one of the hottest (in a sense of temperature) countries in the world with max temperatures in summer crossing 45^oC. Winter is the most favorite season here, as people can go and camp in deserts and spend some days there having BBQ and mostly enjoying with there quad-bikes. During this time regions largest festival "Global Village" is also going on which has pavilions of almost all the countries and with a lot of rides and restaurants, my favorite part. 

Christmas is also celebrated here with the same intensity as it is celebrated in other parts of the world. The celebration of Christmas can be felt when you visit malls, especially malls in Dubai, where each mall is decorated in its own unique way with large Christmas trees.

Now lets move on to the New years celebration. As all know that Dubai currently has worlds tallest building called Burj Khalifa, meaning Khalifa Tower. Now at sharp 00:00 new years is celebrated by fireworks exploding around and on this Tower turning night into day and the musical fountains at the front of Tower dances with the music going on during the event.

Me personally hate going to places where there is large crowd, I like visiting places which are quite and not filled with Homo sapiens. But I do watch all these celebrations on the National Channel which in my opinion gives a better view. 

 

United Kingdom represented by @Lhamster:

In the UK, the main holiday around this time is Christmas, by November most shops and towns have their decorations and lights up, they seem to get earlier each year! We have Advent in the run up to Christmas, with many people having Advent Calendars, which you open a little door in each day, and it usually has something behind it, such as sweets. On Christmas Eve, stockings (large socks) are left out for Santa, and on Christmas Day people will open their presents and have Christmas Dinner with turkey and all the trimmings! And on Boxing Day, the sales and rush for the shops begins! Many people spend Christmas with their family and friends. New Year is also celebrated, although not to the extent that Christmas is, people will have parties and there are countdowns in major cites across the country, the most famous being in London with Big Ben. I usually visit my family in London over Christmas and spend Christmas Day at my grandparents house, where the entire family comes over. I will also celebrate Chunukah with the other side of my family while I'm down there. I also stay up for New Year, but don't do anything special for it.

 

United States represented by @monster0909:

        Holidays that are in November and December are some of the biggest holidays of the year in the USA. The first holiday that is celebrated is known as Thanksgiving. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, which this year would be the 28^th. The story behind this holiday is of some pilgrims who came from England to America. They went through some devastating times, but finally managed to survive. They gave great thanks to God, and had a big feast with the Indians who helped them survive. Because of this, on Thanksgiving Day, most families have huge meals consisting of roast turkey, potatoes and gravy, rolls, and pumpkin pies, they also give thanks for all they have.  In New York, they have a famous parade on this day called the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Other cities also have parades.

      Christmas of course, is also celebrated here. You will know right away when Christmas comes. People will decorate their house with Christmas trees, and ornaments, and all kinds of lights. Christmas music will be played almost EVERYWHERE. Kids love this holiday because when they wake up on December 25, they will find gifts from Santa Claus under their Christmas tree. :D  people also have lots of parties, and give each other small gifts. Christmas is celebrated here because it is the Birth of Jesus Christ.  

       Where I come from, New Year isn't as big as Christmas or Thanksgiving. Usually on New Year, most families will have parties with friends until 12:00 PM. They will play games, watch movie’s, and eat lots tasty food. Unfortunately, fireworks are against the law in most places, so You won’t be seeing them around often, unless done in a professional show. :( All three holidays are mostly spent with family and friends. Personally, I love all three of these holidays. I find them restful and fun. I enjoy celebrating with my family.

 

Thank you to our participants! And remember readers, If your country was not mentioned, please answer the questions and post them as a comment. If you wish to correct someone above please do it kindly!
