Christmas, also known as Christmas, is translated as "Christian Mass", which originated from Saturnalia in ancient Rome to welcome the New Year and has nothing to do with Christianity. After Christianity prevailed in the Roman Empire, the Vatican drifted into the Christian system to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Italian Customs:
Every Italian family has a model scene of the story of the birth of Jesus. On Christmas Eve, families get together for a big meal and attend Christmas Mass at midnight. After that, I went to visit my relatives and friends. Only children and old people got presents.
At Christmas, Italians have a good custom. Children write articles or poems to express their gratitude to their parents for their upbringing during the year.
Their works were hidden in napkins, under plates or under tablecloths before Christmas dinner, and parents pretended not to see them. After they finished their big meal, they took it back and read it to everyone.
