In Africa, Christmas is a celebration full of colors, songs, and unique traditions. Let’s discover how children celebrate this special time across the continent!
Christmas in Africa is about much more than gifts. In many countries, it’s a time for families to come together, share a delicious meal, and sing as one. Children often decorate trees with handmade ornaments and prepare performances for their communities.
In Ghana, for example, families organize dances and games after midnight mass. In South Africa, Christmas is often spent at the beach because it’s summer! And in Ethiopia, the celebration is called « Genna, » featuring traditional costumes and a game similar to hockey.
No matter the country, Christmas in Africa is a time of joy, sharing, and love, where each child finds a unique way to make this magical holiday shine.
