1:德国和荷兰在12月6日庆祝类似英国国家的圣尼古拉斯日.

荷兰语称作Sinterklaasavond的日子要比圣诞节重要的多,

虽然近年来一些荷兰人也开始庆祝平安夜和圣诞节.

SINTERKLASS会在12月5日给企求礼物的小朋友带来礼物.

他的装束是红色的主教外套和主教发冠,骑着一匹白色骏马在房顶间穿梭.

在德国,圣诞节的庆祝在大部分地区仍然是传统之一.

而圣诞大餐要在12月25日享用,主菜一般是家禽.

圣诞礼物是与圣尼古拉斯长的很像的圣诞老人带来的.

Germany and the Netherlands celebrate the 6th of December very much the same way the English celebrate the St. Nicolas Day. What is called in Dutch, Sinterklassvond, is more important than Christmas, although in recent years some Dutch began celebrating Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Sinterklass brings gifts to children that long for them on December 5th. He wears red robe and bishop hat, and rides a white house between roofs. In Germany, Christmas Celebration is still a tradition in many regions. Yet Christmas Feast is served on December 25th, the main dish usually being domestic poultry and Christmas gifts being brought by Santa Claus who looks very much like St. Nicolas.

In Italy, Christmas is a combination of modern traditions and customs left by their Roman ancestors. Food, religious ritual, Christmas ornament and gifts are all important to consider. In some regions, gifts are sent by La Befana at Epiphany. In other places, little Jesus Christ on Christmas eve or Christmas Day.

Candy canes

Why are some candies associated with Christmas? Hundreds of years ago sugar was very expensive. It was a food of the wealthy. For other people, it was a special treat saved for holidays (Christmas, Easter) and other special occasions (weddings, christenings). Many of these traditions remain today. About candy.

Food historians tell us that hard candies (sticks, losenges, etc.) were originally manufactured for medicinal purposes. This idea survives today in the form of cough drops. Confectioners were quick to recognize the popularity of hard candy, in its various forms. Before long, hard candies of all sorts of shapes, sizes, and flavors were produced for "recreational" purposes.

"The concept of sugar as medicine probably came from the tradition of Moslem physicians. They came from a culture which knew and used sugar...That sugar was an expensive and exotic luxury, used medicinally by the subtle and learned Arabs, probalby helped reinforce medieval European ideas of its intrinsic goodness. There were pleny of ailments in northern Europe for which sugar was considered suitable treatment--coughs, colds, chest infections, agues. The Christ allowed that sugar was medicinal (St. Thomas Aquinas himself apparently considered and pronounced on the subject), which meant it could be legitimately nibbled during Lent, probably adding to its appeal. It is no coincidence that our earliest information about pulled-sugar sweets in Britian, using the very word penides that travelled all the way from the Orient, comes from compilations of medicinal formulae, not elegant books on fine confectionery. A description of pulling sugar was written down about 1500 in the York manuscript, under the title To make penydes...The art of pulling sugar was evidently well understood 500 years ago..."
---Sugar-Plums and Sherbet: The Prehistory of Sweets, Laura mason [Prospect Books:Devon] 2004 (p. 84-5)

"When sugar first became known in Europe it was a rare and costly commodity, valued mainly for its supposed medicinal qualities and finding its place in the pharmacopoeia of the medieval apothecary...Sugar gradually became more widely available in Europe during the Middle Ages. In Britain it was considered to be an excellent remedy for winter colds. It might be eaten in the form of candy crystals...or it might be made into little twisted sticks which were called in Latin penida, later Anglicized to pennets. The tradition of penida survives most clearly in American stick candy which is similarly twisted and flavoured with essences supposed to be effective against colds, such as oil of wintergreen."
