英國
I miss my xmas with my family...
英國人在聖誕節是最注重吃的，食品中包括燒豬、火雞、聖誕布丁、聖誕碎肉餅等。每一個家人都有禮物，僕人也有份，所有的禮物是在聖誕節的早晨派送。有的唱聖誕歌者沿門逐戶唱歌報佳音，他們會被主人請進屋內，用茶點招待，或者贈小禮物。
美國
因為美國是由許多民族組成的國家，所以美國人慶祝聖誕的情形也最為複雜，從各國來的移民仍多依照他們祖國的風俗。不過，在聖誕時期，美國人的門外掛著花環以及其他別緻的佈置則是一樣的。
法國
法國的一般成年人，在聖誕前夕差不多都要到教會參加子夜彌撒。在完畢後，家人同去最年老的已婚的哥哥或姊姊的家裡，團聚吃飯。這個集會，討論家中要事，但遇有家人不和睦的，在此後也前嫌冰釋，大家要和好如初了，所以聖誕在法國是一個仁慈的日子。
西班牙
西班牙的兒童會放鞋子在門外或窗外，接收聖誕禮物。在許多城市里有禮物給最美麗的子女。牛在那天也能得到很好的待遇。據說在耶穌誕生時，曾有一頭牛向他吐氣來使到他得到溫暖。
意大利
每一個意大利的家庭，都放有耶穌誕生故事的模型景物。在聖誕前夕，家人團聚吃大餐，到午夜時參加聖誕彌撒。完畢之後，便去訪問親友，只有小孩和年老的人得到禮物。在聖誕節，意大利人有一種很好的風俗，兒童們作文或撰詩歌，表示感謝他們的父母在一年來給他們的教養。他們的作品，在未吃聖誕大餐之前，被暗藏在餐巾裡、碟子的下面或是桌布裡，父母裝作看不見。在他們吃完大餐之後，便把它取回，向大家朗讀。
瑞典
瑞典人是很好客的，聖誕節時，更有明顯的表現，每一個家庭，不論貧富，都歡迎朋友，甚至陌生人也可以去，各種食品擺在桌上，任人來吃。
瑞士
瑞士的聖誕老人是穿白色的長袍，戴上假面具的。他們都是由貧苦人所扮，結隊向人討取食品和禮物。在收隊後，他們就平分所得的東西。
丹麥
丹麥是最初推出聖誕郵票和稱防癆郵票的，這種郵票發出來籌款作防癆經費。在丹麥人寄出的聖誕郵件上沒有不貼上這種郵票的。收接郵件的人，看見貼有愈多聖誕郵票的，會覺得更喜歡哩！
挪威
挪威人在聖誕前夕臨睡前，家里各人都把自己所穿的一雙鞋子，由大至小排稱一列，是各人輪流唱出他最喜歡的聖誕歌或聖詩一首。
愛爾蘭
愛爾蘭的每一個家庭，在聖誕節前夕，都放有一枝洋燭或燈在窗門架，表示歡迎救世主降生。
蘇格蘭
蘇格蘭人在家裡找尋向別人借來的東西，必需在聖誕節之前都歸還予物主。他們多是在新年的首個星期一那天贈送禮物，並不是在聖誕節期間送的，小孩子和僕人都會得到禮物。
荷蘭
荷蘭人的聖誕禮物，往往是出乎一般人所意料的，有時會被藏在布丁羊腸裡面。
德國
德國的每一信奉耶穌教的家庭，都有一株聖誕樹，聖誕樹是在德國最先有的。德國人對於製聖誕節餅是很講究的。餅有很多款式，在親友之間，彼此均有贈送。 |
!!! I hate being ill, but i guess i should feel lucky that for most part of this year i actually haven't fallen ill that many times. Fingers cross that stays the same way through next year aswell
! Right now i feel quite sleepy but i'm still gonna make myself stay awake coz or else I'm just gonna end up sleeping all the way through until tonite and that is definitely not what i wanna be doing! Last nite I thought about how i'm gonna spend xmas and stuff and realise that i've not spent Xmas in England with my family for along time now and i really miss doing that. Xmas is a very special time for us in England and i miss that atmosphere that you would never find here in HK! Putting the xmas tree up in the house, decorating the living room, seeing the snow fall down from the lovely white sky and hearing people signing xmas carols in the street! I guess i'am homesick but then i have been for along time!
Alot of what happens through xmas when i was in England have mostly changed though, most of my friends already have a family, or you just end up losing contact with them through many reasons! I remember back then we would have parties and play through the night with no sleep what so ever and just going crazy that the fact it was holidays and we would have no skool or work! Those times are past now, but very happy memories that i will keep for the rest of my life! Anyway as we approach another Xmas, i feel this year has flew by like the rest of them and soon it be another start to a new year 2007. looking back through this year, i feel i could have done much more to improve myself. I've had some happy times this year but also alot of unhappy ones, but i try to forget those and be positive about myself! I have alot of plans for 2007 and i hope that if i make 10 plans for myself, i really do hope i can atleast acheive or complete 7 or 8 of them. The most important 1 would be to do something that i have always wanted to do but have never got the chance to do it! I will push myself to do that and hopefully i can get a good outcome from it! Anyway 2006 there was 1 thing that i did that i really felt proud of myself and it's something i did for someone else rather than myself. At the beginning of the year I signed up with WorldVision and adopted a child. Her name is Mary, she lives in Malawi and all i have to do is give up 200 dollars amonth and through WorldVision she will get my money to help her education and living. I never thought about doing this before but when i did sign up i felt i was doind something that was good for myself and at the sametime i was able to help a little girl who is much much more poorer and unfortunate than i could ever be! Alot of people don't realise just how many little kids in these poor countries are dieing everyday because of no food, no clean water and no clothes to wear! Most of us live in a world that is very stable and the worst we experience doesn;t even come anywhere close to what those kids experience! What they suffer in a day, we probably wouldn't suffer during any part of our entire life! So for those of you who has never thought about adopting a child then why not start now, giving up 200 dollars amonth from eating out and shopping clothes you can actually help a child get Clean food, water, clothes and many other things that they can;t afford! I was so happy to receive my adopted childs letter last month, thanking me for my help and how she was very lucky to have someone who doesn't even know her that was willing to give her help! I just feel very happy that i can offer her alittle help though i wish i could do more for her!!!
