Christmas in Catholic Brazil is celebrated on December 25. Christmas celebration combines Portuguese, American and Mexican traditions. At the beginning of December, scenes of the birth of Christ are set in some houses, shopping centers, and other public places. These are houses with straw cradles symbolizing the birthplace of Jesus. There are theatricals on the life of a shepherd and his family. Children are waiting for good Papa Noel (Santa Claus) who brings beautifully packed gifts. On Christmas Eve, there are real feasts with fresh fruit, roast turkey, walnut pies, chocolate cakes, and lots of wine.
