When people who live in the northern hemisphere think of Christmas, they think of Santa Claus, Christmas trees, reindeers and snow. Snow? Not in Brazil. There, it is summer and it is hot as it can be. Poor Santa in his red winter clothes! He should wear shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops! But how do families get ready to celebrate

Christmas day? Most of them decorate a fake Christmas tree. They hang wreaths on doors and put Christmas lights on windows and balconies.

Secret Santa is also very popular in Brazil. It is a game where friends exchange presents anonymously. It is a cheap and fun way to give presents to your loved ones.After dinner, children go to bed and wait for Santa Claus, like many other children around the world.

On Christmas Eve, families in Brazil eat a special Christmas menu: turkey (or another bird), rice, vegetables, and potato salad. They always have a special dessert. There is one thing that is not exactly Brazilian, but that they love: Christmas bread (or as the Italian call it: panettoni).
