The wonderful thing about traditions is that they bring people together. Many traditions have been introduced to us from other countries and often have ancient roots. Some customs are traditional, with the emphasis on their religious origins, while others are of a contemporary, more commercial nature. Many of them have grown to be part of our lives. So have Christmas food and traditions which vary in different European countries:
