Brazil is one South American country that has incorporated some American ideas for Christmas. Brazilians have a Santa equivalent called Papa Noel, lighted Christmas trees, and similar gift giving traditions. The manger, or pesebre, is still very important, however. On Christmas Eve a meal is laid out before the household attends midnight Mass, so that the Holy family may eat if they wish. Children put out shoes for Papa Noel to fill. Because of the warm climate, Christmas day is often filled with picnics and sport.
