One of the most curious customs of the Belgians is that the famous delivery of gifts that the majority of the countries of the world is accustomed December 25 ago in the morning, they carry out it December 6 but we clarify: December 6 is the “official” day of the arrival of San Nicolas or Dad Noel. The 25 of December they are used to doing small gifts by way of presents among nearby relatives.



The armed one of the arbolito is as prominent as in the entire world. Though it do not they assemble strictly December 8 as many countries of Latin America, some prior days to Christmas the Belgians take charge of decorating marvelously its homes, hanging averages in the chimneys to the best American style (although do not we know still if this is an American original idea) and assembling trees of Christmas decorated beautifully.



The turkey backfill and the done desserts with cream are the protagonists in the Christmas date. December 6, that as we commented further up, is the day of the arrival of San Nicolas, the breakfast is extremely important; the Belgians prepare a loaf of sweet bread called by them “cougnolle” , that as affirm, is a delicacy.



Another Belgian custom is to leave to skate December 25 after the family food. The entire family does it and really is a beautiful tradition to meet the family in an amusing moment. One of the most interesting cities at the moment of the feasts is Bruges. (to see hotels in Bruges)
