  1. BRAZILIAN TRODITION Kids in Brazil usually have three favorite holidays: Easter, Children’s Day (12 Oct.), and Christmas. Just like in the United States, kids hunt for hidden eggs and eat a lot of chocolate on Easter; they make special crafts in school and eat a special Easter meal at home. For Children’s Day, parents buy their kids presents. On Christmas Eve, all the relatives come together, even from far away, for a big meal after 10 p.m. At midnight, they open presents and then stay up really late. They sleep in on the 25th and get together again for lunch. Every year prior to Easter, Carnaval is widely celebrated throughout Brazil but is especially popular in Rio de Janeiro. by Nathanael

  2. What Brazilians eat depends a lot on where they live and how much money they make. However, many kids eat bread, milk, and cheese for breakfast. Lunch and dinner foods include rice, beans, meat (often beef), and vegetables. Feijoada, black beans cooked with pork or sausage, is a favorite meal that dates back to the earliest periods of slavery. Pasta, soup, and fruit are common foods, too. Kids like sandwiches or even just French bread with butter and cheese or honey. For snacks, they like Brazil’s tasty pastries as well as potato chips, candy, and ice cream.

  3. One tradition is to create a nativity scene or Presépio. The word origins from the Hebrew word "presepium" which means the bed of straw upon which Jesus first slept in Bethlehem. The Presépio is common in northeastern Brazil (Bahia, Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Maranhão, Ceará, Pernambuco, Piauí and Alagoas). The Presépio was introduced in the 17th century, in the city of Olinda in the state of Pernambuco by a Franciscan friar named Gaspar de Santo Agostinho. Nowadays presépios are set up in December and displayed in churches, homes, and stores. . Devout Catholics often attend Midnight Mass or Missa do Galo. (A galo is a rooster.) The mass has this name because the rooster announces the coming day and the Missa do Galo finishes at 1 AM on Christmas morning! On December 25th, Catholics go to church, but the masses are mostly late afternoon, because people enjoy sleeping late after the dinner (Ceia de Natal) or going to the beach.

  4. Money is what some kid in Brazil get because some people are very poor.
