IN GREENLAND, CHRISTMAS EVE IS traditionally the day when men wait on their wives, carrying out their every request. And in Japan, Christmas Day is treated like Valentine’s Day: The most popular place for lovers to celebrate? KFC. It’s so popular that reservations are necessary. We’re so glad Vashi created this whimsical guide to the world’s unusual and romantic Christmas traditions with illustrations by Marie Muravski. Enjoy.
