When the holidays come around, it always seems as if there are features galore! The stores quickly fill with egg nog, wasail ingredients and chocolate shaped into almost any shape imaginable. But this year, but it looks like the more traditional holiday deals to spice up your meetings. Focusing on traditional and meaningful instead of the gaudy and commercial, you may find that you introduce your family and friends is that both love to eat and discuss.

In Austria, families traditionally spend Christmas Eve together, starting the evening with a church service. Following church, gather for a traditional dinner. While their main course of Gebackener Karpfen, or fried carp, may not suit the imagination of all, their sweet Sachertorte can actually. Sachertore is a chocolate cake and apricot, the richness of the pie is determined by the depth and quality of chocolate used. The cake is then frosted with chocolate frosting Traditionally, creating a delicious treat for almost every taste.

When reached on December 6 in Germany, is celebrated the evening with Santa Claus to come to all children. To the good children get a shoe or boot full of delicious chocolates, biscuits and other delicacies. This only starts the holiday season. On Christmas Eve, each family member receives a plaque of all types of trafficking, including fruit, nuts, marzipan, chocolate and biscuits. These traits are safe to bring sweet dreams for Christmas morning!

Mexico celebrates the holiday season with La Posadas, which marks the journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem. As of December 16, this celebration takes place every evening with people going door to door, singing traditional songs and asking for the admission of Mary. When the door opens, and celebrates all children enjoy the tradition of the piñata. The Piñata is a colorful container made of a ceramic (traditionally) and paper (in modern times), filled with all sorts of care for children. One by one, children are blindfolded and try to hit the piñata with a stick. Finally, the piñata breaks, eating and celebrating all the delicious sweets and treats

And in France it is probably one of the most indulgent, the hooves. Traditionally, the sabots were wooden shoes that the peasants wore. On Christmas Eve, the children would put their shoes in front of the fire, hoping that hoof woke full of goodies. In modern France, however, wooden shoes are obviously not as prevalent. Instead, hooves are made of chocolate cake and filled with all sorts of sweets. Obviously, these are no longer together before the fire.

For your next holiday gathering, why not choose a theme traditional food is delicious and communicate knowledge about your guests. Will probably not thrilled to bring the bid vacation tired.
