Christmas/Traditions

This is how the many countries celebrate.

Waffleland
In Waffleland Christmas is celebrated on the 23rd of December. During the days before the streets are traditionally the scene of an infamously huge, nonstop pie fight, and on Christmas eve it doesn't quiet down any further and penguins gather together to drink Cactus Juice. On Christmas morning the inhabatants rise to make rather cheap wooden gifts for each other (many a penguin has risen to find a block of wood for a present), and they brew a strange drink which tastes like sausages. It is then that they give out their gifts, and the rich play pranks on each other. The drink is then consumed before the afternoon and things go back to normal.

Freezeland
Celebrations last from December 22 to the 26th. On the days before Christmas, Yule festivals pop up across the Republic. On Christmas Eve, children bake cookies and sweets and decorate their igloo and Christmas tree. They sing carols and enjoy the company of their family. Before they go to bed, their parents give them a gift, usally a toy, treat, or pyjamas. Children go to bed early, and wait for Father Christmas to come. Around 7:00, children wake up and play with an unwrapped gift that father christmas leaves, empty their stockings, and wait for their parents to wake up. Finally, around 9:00, King Triskelle gives his Christmas Speech. Half an hour later, children finally open their gifts. Around 17:00, a Chistmas feast is held, with foods varying from family to family. Before the feast starts, everyone stands in a circle and pops open their christmas crackers.
