Other countries have their own unique ways of celebrating Christmas, but they all share a common theme of spreading joy and good cheer. In France, for example, families decorate their homes with mistletoe and wreaths of holly, and children receive presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day. In Germany, families gather to decorate a Christmas tree, and children leave their shoes out for St. Nicholas to fill with treats. In Japan, Christmas is more of a secular holiday, with families eating KFC and exchanging gifts.
