10 Christmas Traditions From Around the World You Probably Haven't Heard Of

Christmas is a time for tradition, family, and food, but this can mean something different in various parts of the world. For example, in South Africa, the main dish is fried caterpillars, whereas, in Greenland, they eat whale skin and fermented sea birds.

In the US, thousands of people dress like Santa at SantaCon. SantaCon is an American tradition that started in San Francisco in 1994 but quickly spread to other cities in the world. New York is the biggest venue of all. Plenty of people come dressed as Santa Claus or any other Christmas characters and party together. Image credit: © Alberto Reyes/Sipa USA/East News
