There are countless Christmas traditions in the world, varying from country to country, culture to culture, and even from family to family. The Christmas tree is the most popular tradition. Belgian children leave carrots and hay for Saint Nicholas's horses (as opposed to reindeer.) Czechs set a place at their tables for the Christ child. In France, children have their shoes filled with gifts and candy instead of stockings.
