There are several such interesting and fascinating facts about Christmas that remain aloof from us. For example, in Armenia, Christmas is celebrated on January 6 rather than December 25. The people of Oslo in Norway celebrate Christmas by donating a "Trafalgar Square tree" to the people of Britain in gratitude for its assistance during World War II. The tree is prominently displayed in Trafalgar Square from the beginning of December till January 6.
Mexico celebrates the festival from December 12 to January 6. As part of tradition, children perform the "Posada" procession, which means "Inn" or "Lodging" in Spanish. Mexico is also known for its unique "Radish Night" which takes place on December 23. The story behind celebrating "Radish Night" is that once a monk suggested the farmers carve radishes into imaginative shapes and designs as a means to tempt people to buy them.
