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 Norway, they hide all broomsticks and mops. Norwegian people have a custom of hiding all the broomsticks and mops on Christmas Eve because there's a belief that witches or other evil spirits may come and steal them. Bonus: After Christmas day, you will definitely enjoy the "romjul," which is a Norwegian term that has no English translation. It means "that time between Christmas and New Year's Eve when no one is sure what they should be doing." We can definitely relate to this period of time.
