The tradition of giving presents with Christmas we didnot have that, thats growing in our country, we had the brother of Santa Claus, Sinterklaas on the 5th of december when i was child. And we still celebrate Sinterklaas in our country for the kids. The growns ups, are more and more giving presents under the Christmas tree. When we were children we were told to be good kids otherwise Sinterklaas will take you in a sack back to his homotown Spain, π of course no one was taken. And we were told that he was a turkish good saint, who freed slaves, and payd them to work for him as a black pete, and make children happy with pressents and candy! And Christmas time was a time for family, in our family we celebrated the birthday of my sis at the 22th of december under the Christmas tree, and the birthday of my granddad at the 26th of december at the christmas tree at my grandparents house. Us children were playing and enjoying the candyballs that my grandmother was hiding in the christmas tree. And the grown ups were laughing and discussing with eachother. That were great times!!
