Christmas In Canada

Christmas in Canada is generally white as it is in the middle of winter and therefore Canadian Christmas has all the classic Christmas touches. There are huge well-decorated Christmas trees, bright evergreen Christmas wreaths and fantastic decorations with lights in the houses, churches or other public places.

Canada has many provinces and each province has some sort of its own touch in Christmas in Canada. In some provinces, called Sinck Tuck (a winter festival), is celebrated by the Eskimos, with dancing and a gift-giving party. In Labrador, turnips are saved from the summer harvest and are given to children, with a lighted candle pushed into a hollowed out hole. Nova Scotia has many Scottish highlanders settled in that province and songs and carols brought from Britain two centuries ago are sung each Christmas morning. During the twelve days of Christmas small groups of belsnicklers (masked mummers), appear in neighborhoods, ringing bells, making noise, seeking candy or other treats. If the hosts guess who the mummers are and if they guess right the mummer removes his or her disguise and stops making discourteous noises and actions. Children may be quizzed by the mummers on their behavior if they say they have been good they are rewarded with candy.

In Quebec, they display Cr�ches or nativity scenes in their homes as the Christmas decorations. Attending the midnight mass is common in Christmas in Canada and families are served tourtiere or pork pie. Another favorite food is Boulettes or small meatballs. A Christmas banquet is called a reveillon. Stay connected to Christmas Carnivals for more.
