Christmas is different here. Obviously.
Children get presents from Santa, maybe their parents, but other than that no one really gets gifts. They are always shocked when I give an estimate of how many presents I usually get on Christmas. They also eat something called "Christmas cake," which is just a normal cake with decorations, as far as I can tell. No Christmas baking for me this Christmas... Generally Christmas just isn't that big of a deal here.
But I knew Christmas was different here. That wasn't a surprise.
What did surprise me is that something as simple as a snowman is different here. Snowmen here only have 2 parts, instead of 3. I found that incredibly weird...
How did that happen?
