Christmas in Brazil
In Brazil, Santa Claus is called Papai Noel. Many Christmas customs are similar to ones in the U.S.A. or U.K..
Favourite Christmas foods in Brazil include will be chicken, turkey, ham, rice, salad, pork and fresh and dried fruits.
Many people start the Christmas celebrations on Christmas Eve with fireworks and a big churrasco (BBQ).
Sometimes children leave a sock near a window, if Santa , known as Papai Noel (Father Christmas) & Bom Velhinho (Good Old Man), finds your sock, he'll exchange it for a present!
