Christmas Eve: Here's how you can celebrate
Xmas is always a relaxing time with a lot of merry making. This winter fest is celebrated with family meals when traditional Christmas dishes like roasts, sweet bread, Christmas puddings and tarts, eggnog and rich plum cakes are served. Homes have their Christmas Trees decorated and lit up and mistletoes hung. In some countries, people go around singing Christmas carols from door to door but this year it won't be possible with Covid restrictions in place. It's that time of the year when children around the world hang their Christmas stockings before going to bed hoping for Santa Claus to arrive with gifts and sweets. In France, children are known to put their shoes near the fireplace as Santa always slithers down the chimney.
