Merry Xmas!

Every country has its own way of celebrating Christmas. But one thing is important everywhere: presents. Santa Clause brings them to most of the world. In England and America Santa Claus is pulled by hungry reindeers to all the houses while in Australia he rides a very angry kangaroo. While in Hawaii he visits people by boat. And in the Netherlands he goes by horse which is faster than donkey he uses in Switzerland.

In which place Santa Clause doesn’t travel using an animal?

The most important thing for Xmas is to feed the animals which help Santa to deliver presents.

Food is also an important part of Christmas. In Australia people have a barbecue steak grill on the beach. While in England families stay at home to eat a turkey lunch on the 25^th. But in Japan Christians eat Kentucky Fried Chicken take-away and in South Africa they eat caterpillars – insects – they find in the garden.

Which of this Christmas meals do people get from a restaurant?
