Hopefully you will all enjoy! Before we start don’t wait and grab yourself a Christmas spirit and lets go! <3

Grinch was the happiest person in town. He knew Christmas was coming! But only he had the Christmas spirit :

All the people in town were grumpy and angry. They didn’t want Christmas. All they wanted was to be alone in their caves somewhere far away from town. No one wanted know or talk about the Christmas spirit. Everyone thought that it’s bad luck.

Although as I said… there was Grinch. All alone in the town. He knew he could make everyone like or even love Christmas! It wasn’t as easy as we all might think. Imagine building a huge Christmas tree in the middle of the town ALONE! Yes it must have been hard for him.

– The most beautiful night of the Christmas is almost here.- He smiled as he said those words. – Its sad that they don’t treasure it.

Grinch finger was pointing at the caves. He sat alone in the middle of the snow with eyes full of sparkles.

– Santa, I know you hear me. Remember when I said I wanted a pony? Actually I changed my mind… all I want for Christmas is for them to understand what it’s like. Feel the spirit.

He closed his eyes believing that the gift would come.

– I better go sleep. Tomorrow my dream will hopefully come true.

<Morning>

Grinch woke up. He was sad. After all he has to spend Christmas alone… or is he? Grinch looked out of the window and what he saw was just the biggest miracle! People that lived in this town were here! Here in the snow!

– Thank you, Santa.

He ran out and enjoyed his Christmas with everyone else for the first and the best time…

The End..

Christmas is celebrated all around the world and every country has its unique traditions. Some of them are very sweet, but others will make you ask yourself: ‘Why?’. Here are some of the weirdest Christmas traditions from around the globe.

Japan. KFC feast
Thanks to a lack of turkeys and smart marketing, a KFC bucket with fried chicken is the main dish at Christmas in many Japanese homes.

Spain, Catalonia. Caganer (‘Crapper’)
Statuettes of well-known people defecating are a Christmas tradition in Catalonia, dating back to the 18th century. The figures symbolize fertilization, hope and prosperity for the coming year. Statuettes can be of regular people or famous celebrities and politicians.

Krampus

Iceland. The Yule Cat
One famous Icelandic Christmas character is the Yule Cat who eats children who haven’t worked hard enough. So, if you have finished all your work before Christmas you are safe. The Yule cat only looks for the lazy ones in old clothes.

Austria. Krampus
Krampus, the terrifying companion of St. Nicholas and one of Austria’s unique Advent traditions. He looks to punish children who have misbehaved this year.

Befana

Norway. Hide the brooms
In the past, people believed witches came out on Christmas Eve to look for brooms to ride on so they hid them. Today Norwegian women still hide all brooms in their house before going to bed on Christmas Eve.

Italy: The good witch
In Italy, instead of Santa Claus, children are waiting for Befana – a kindly witch that hands out presents at Christmas.
