Christmas in South Africa is called Christmas, just like everywhere else. They may put their own spin on the celebrations with traditions like braai (barbecue) instead of a traditional roast dinner, but the name remains the same. So, no need to worry about any fancy names or rebranding - it's just good ol' Christmas down in South Africa.
on a day
... its still celebrated on the same day... and christmas is in the winter in america... so its winter in south africa too ... lol
Tickets to South Africa are mos expensive near Christmas and Summer.
Christmas day is a holiday in South Africa, but the government of South Africa does promote religious freedom and that all religions in SA are equal and therefore it is not officially a religious holiday. The majority of South Africans are Christians and therefore most would celebrate Christmas from a religious point of view, many going to church on Christmas morning.
how do people celebrate Christmas in South Africa
The Christmas is celebrated similarly in Africa like in the rest of the world. Instead of building snowmen, they build mudmen and instead of decorating Christmas trees, they decorate palms.
Pentecostals do decorate Christmas trees.
They have Christmas trees with things like lights, balls, tinsel and other Christmas decorations. On walls you may have banners, special Christmas decorations, and signs. Cribs are common in most homes and various lights and candles. Christmas-related items such as Santa or reindeer may form part of Christmas decorations too. Holly and ivy are common and other flowers and plants.
