Traditions: Dutch Christmas Traditions
Posted in Christmas Traditions on Oct 1st, 2008
Music is a strong tradition in many Dutch churches, where groups play for the congregation on Christmas Day.
We do not have any one particular Christmas dish, however, we usually bake the famous Dutch Christmas cookies known as a Christmas ring, called Kerstkrans Kerstkrans.
On Christmas Eve, presents are supposedly delivered in stockings and under the Christmas tree by Father Christmas, who previously had been something like The Ghost of Christmas Present in Charles Dickens ‘ A Christmas Carol, but has now become mainly conflated with Santa Claus.
