Denmark: Traditionally, families hold hands and dance around the tree before opening presents. The trees also usually have real candles instead of lights.

Finland: Most Fins visit cemeteries and light candles to place on the graves of relatives on Christmas eve.

Guatemala: The Christmas season kicks off on December 7^th when they burn effigies of the devil! That is also the eve of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.                                                        -Nathan
