　　在亞洲，慶祝圣誕節(jié)通常會(huì)涉及到一部份泊進(jìn)的西方全國(guó)全國(guó)習(xí)慣，然而，在日本Japan，這一些習(xí)慣卻被打上了商業(yè)利益的烙印。一到假日，浪漫感情就顯得分外很重要，因此，這一天因該和心愛(ài)的人或者配偶一起度過(guò)。面包店會(huì)推出圣誕蛋糕作為習(xí)慣的情人餐。要想在肯德基就餐，你也許還得訂餐。是的，肯德基炸雞。這位快餐界的大哥讓大部分人以為炸雞是習(xí)慣的圣誕大餐。在日本Japan根本那是那樣。

　　6. Zwarte Piet

Sinterklass arrives on the eve of St. Nicholas Day in a steamship with his slave Zwarte Piet, portrayed in public processions in few cities. Since about 1850, child who don’t beHAs within the age were talked those Black Peter may get them behind to Spain, wITe Sinterklaas lives. The racist aspects of the custom HAs be downplayed in recent decades, and the tale of Black Peter now describes him as a chimney sweep instead of a slave, which explains the blackexpression. But charges of racism yet follow Black Peter, as he is frequently portrayed with an Afro and exaggerated features.

　　Zwarte Piet(德語(yǔ))，意為黑皮特，在荷蘭Netherlands，大部分人以為他是圣誕老人的助手。在幾個(gè)都市的公眾游行中，描繪了圣誕老人在圣人尼古拉斯日前夕，和奴隸Zwarte Piet 一起，乘著汽船一起呈現(xiàn)的場(chǎng)景。大約從1850年始，若有小孩在這一年中不聽(tīng)話，大人就會(huì)告訴他，黑皮特會(huì)把她們帶到圣誕老人居住的西班牙SPAIN去。在最近幾十年，這一習(xí)慣的種族主義成分被淡化，黑皮特也從奴隸變成了掃煙囪的人，那樣也說(shuō)明了他臉黑的理由。但是由于他經(jīng)常被刻畫成唯一有著非洲發(fā)型的夸張形象，對(duì)其有關(guān)種族主義的控訴仍然不斷。

　　7. TV Yule Log

　　圣誕柴這一習(xí)慣有幾百年的古代事件。而電視圣誕柴則是個(gè)相對(duì)較新的習(xí)慣，主要是為那些么有燒柴壁爐的人家而設(shè)的。從1966年開(kāi)端，紐約WPIX頻道就開(kāi)端在圣誕節(jié)前夕24小時(shí)播放壁爐燃燒的情況。NO·1次節(jié)目是在市長(zhǎng)府邸格雷西公寓拍攝的，但是那一次拍攝導(dǎo)火索了地毯起火，幾年之后，市長(zhǎng)對(duì)重拍警覺(jué)起來(lái)，因此，目前大部分人看到的場(chǎng)景是在加利福尼亞拍攝的。
