AHOLEHOLE<br />
Alright, steady on the pronunciation there!<br />
Aholehole reads as “a-holy-holy” and is<br />
used to describe a species of fish in the<br />
Pacific.<br />
E.g. “make sure you don’t burn the<br />
bottom of the aholehole on the BBQ!”<br />
xmas facts<br />
<strong>Christmas</strong> comes but once a year, and although giving and<br />
receiving gifts is rather nice, it might be a good thing it only<br />
happens once every 365 days... And to prove this, we’ve<br />
compiled 13 of the strangest <strong>Christmas</strong> traditions from all over<br />
the world.<br />
1. There lives in Austria a <strong>Christmas</strong> devil – Krampus – who is said<br />
to beat naughty children with branches.<br />
THIS IS EVOLUTION<br />

2. Catalonians place a small figure of the Caganer in their<br />
nativity scenes – a small figure of a defecating man...<br />
3. In Norway no one cleans on <strong>Christmas</strong> Eve, lest you want your<br />
broom be stolen by witches and evil spirits!<br />
“I made this with my bear hands.”<br />
4. Most Japanese families eat KFC on <strong>Christmas</strong> Eve, thanks to a<br />
1974 advertising campaign.<br />
5. Venezuelans living in Caracass attend Mass in the run-up to<br />
<strong>Christmas</strong>...on roller skates!<br />
6. At <strong>Christmas</strong> time Greenlanders eat Kiviak, a dish of 500 dead<br />
auk birds stuffed into a seal skin and left to ferment for seven<br />
months. Yumm.<br />
7. Ukrainians decided to toss the tinsel and baubles and decorate<br />
their <strong>Christmas</strong> trees with artificial spiders and web.<br />
8. Some South Africans eat deep fried Mopani worms over<br />
<strong>Christmas</strong>. Only a hint of tomato sauce allowed...<br />
9. Some Welsh villages perform Mari Lwyd on <strong>Christmas</strong> Eve. A<br />
villager is chosen to parade through the streets carrying the skull<br />
of a mare on the end of a stick.<br />
10. The Yule Cat, which dwells in Icelandic Hills, will devour you if<br />
you don’t get new clothes before <strong>Christmas</strong> Eve. Or so it is said...<br />
11. In Italy children don’t get their gifts from Santa Claus. A friendly<br />
witch called Befana brings them toys on the fifth of january<br />
12. The Canadian postal service recognises the address Santa<br />
Claus, North Pole, Canada, H0H 0H0 and reply to all letters<br />
addressed as such.<br />
13. Christians in India make up either banana or mango trees as<br />
the traditional fir tree doesn’t take to kindly to the Indian climate.<br />
