Finland

Finish families traditionally eat rice and milk porridge with cinnamon, milk, or butter on Christmas morning. The person who finds the almond hidden within one of the puddings "wins," but some families cheat by hiding a few almonds to keep the kids from becoming upset.

Visits to the Christmas sauna and church, as well as visits to the cemetery on Christmas Eve, listening to Christmas carols, opening the Christmas calendar, lighting Advent candles, searching for a Christmas tree, decorating the home, and enjoying traditional food with family and loved ones, are all long-standing Finnish traditions.
