Christmas around the world.

Christmas in Vietnam
In Vietnam there are still French influences in the Christmas traditions. The streets are crowded with people on Christmas Eve and in the city centre cars are not allowed for the night. Also like in France, the special Christmas Eve meal is called 'reveillon' and has a 'bûche de Noël' (a chocolate cake in the shape of a log) for desert.Vietnamese people like to give presents of food. Other Christmas presents aren't very common. Some young people like to exchange Christmas cards.
