8.In Africa,Christmas Day begins with groups of carolers (歡唱頌歌的人) walking to and from through the village,along the roadway,by the houses of the missionaries (傳教士),singing the lovely carols known to the world around.Often people may be awakened by a group of carolers beginning to gather at the house of worship(敬神活動(dòng)).They return home to make final preparations as to the clothes one must wear and also as to their offering for the Christmas service.
The most important part of their Christmas worship service is the love offering.This is the gift in honor of Jesus.At about 8or 9o'clock everyone makes their way to the celebration of the birthday of Jesus.Everyone who attends the service goes forward to lay down their gift upon the raised platform near the Communion table.No one will attend the service without giving a gift.
Christmas in South Africa is a summer holiday.There is no snow,but it has many flowers,many beautiful varieties of wild flowers being in their full pride.
In Ghana,most churches show the coming of Christmas by decorating the church and homes beginning with the first week in Advent,four weeks before Christmas.This season happens to be the time of cocoa harvest,so it is a time of wealth.Everyone returns home from wherever they might be such as farms or mines.
In Africa,it is the traditional dinner of turkey,roast beef,mince pies,or suckling pig,yellow rice with raisins,vegetables,and plum pudding,crackers.In the afternoon,families go out into the country and usually there are games or bathing in the warm sunshine,and then home in the cool of the evening.Boxing Day is also a proclaimed (正式宣布的) public holiday usually spent in the open air.It falls on December 26and is a day of real relaxation.
