How do you celebrate Christmas in New Zealand?

Everybody ask me this question, parents, friends and acquaintances. Because I'm lazy I decided to respond here so you can directly link to the blog when they ask me.

First remember that this country is majority Christian. What we celebrate Christmas is actually calling it a pagan celebration, which comes from a Maori tradition (of which I honestly do not remember the name) and which coincidentally falls on the same day of Christmas as we know it.

Traditionally the festivities begin on 23, the eve of the eve. Usually it only works half a day after which you return to the home of relatives - it is customary for someone to call their relatives at home all the others for a few days. Relaxing afternoon and a traditional dinner of lamb.
After dinner, ten o'clock, we head to the place of worship can not remember the name to attend the evening service where we worship a golden idol in the form of lamb - many think it is a link to the story of Moses and that in fact those who deny God at that migrated to the sea to the Pacific. From them descend the Maori.

The next day, on 24, each family gathers in the garden for what is called "chorus of bleating." You obtain a sheep and the oldest member of the family, naked, the animal sacrifices in advance and tied to a stone ritual eats his heart. Then the animal is cooked for the family dinner.
The quiet afternoon spent with games such as Scrabble and Pictionary. Following a light dinner of fish and then we extract the Whanuka lots: that it is customary to remember an old legend, whose protagonist is precisely Whanuka, a member of the family embodies the character and mimes his humble origins and make an allegory of his miserable life. On 25

fact, throughout the day, Whanuka must run naked around the house waiting tables. Eat in a bowl on the floor and family members they strike (with not too hard of course).
After lunch we discard as gifts from us, apart from the Whanuka because his gifts are burned in a bonfire specially prepared at the center of the square as a reminder that God is pig.

I hope to have been limited in the explanation, I wish you a Merry Christmas!
