Ma mua o ka lā 25 o Kekemapa, i ka wā e hele mai ana ka Mele Kalikimaka ma'Eulopa, e ho'omaka ana nā ho'omākaukau no ka ho'olaule'a nani. I ka malama'o Novemaba, ua ho'onani'ia nā puka aniani o kēlā me kēia'ano o nā lā'au Kalikimaka, nā bele, nā pale, "Bethlehem Stars", nā'ōlelo ho'ohiki a Santa Claus, dia, a me nā mea papahana Kalikimaka'ē a'e. Ma kahi o Kekemapa ma kēlā me kēia aupuni nui o Europa e ho'omaka ana ka māka'i Kalikimaka. Ma nā mākekai nui a me nā waho, ho'omaka ke kau kū'ai Kalikimaka.

Ka Europa moolelo o ka hauʻoli o Christmas prescribes e e makana i nā hoa, 'ohana a me ka hiki pono kama'āina i kanaka. Ma kēia lā, he mea ma'amau ka hā'awi'ana i nā makana kūkala i nā mea ho'oma'ema'e, nā mea hope a me nā kānaka'ē a'e i ho'opa'a pinepine'ia i ka makahiki. No laila,'o ka waiho'ana i nā makana no ka Pākē Pālapi kekahi mea nui loa. Ma'ane'i'ole e poina nā mea e pili ana iā ia: nā hoahānau ma mua o ka "'ehiku wai ma luna o nā kissel", ka mea pale pale a me ka mea hope, nā hoalauna, nā hoaaloha a me nā hoa. He mea nui'a'ole he makana, akā akā, e hā'awi mau i nā kāle Kalikimaka. Ho'ouna'ia kēlā me kēia'ohana Pākehā e pili ana i ho'okahi haneri mau leka no ka Kalikimaka. I ka Europa, ua'ike'ia nā pepa palapala mua i ka makahiki 1843 ma'Enelani, a mai ia manawa mai i lilo ai i mea kūpono no ka'aha'aina Kalikimaka.

'Oiai, ma mua o ka ho'oma'ama'a'ana i ka Mele Kalikimaka ma'Eulopa, he lā ho'omana e'oi aku ka ho'omana,'a'ole'o ia he'ano'āina, e like me ia i kēia manawa. Ua ho'olako'ia nā makana i kēlā lā i ka po'e'ilihune. No kēia mau hana i loko o kēlā halepule kēia halepule, aia kahi'aina pua'a mele Kalikimaka'oia'i'o, kahi i hā'awi'ia ai ke kālā mai ke aloha mai. Ma ka lā Kalikimaka, ua wehe pono'ia nā kapa pua'a, a hā'awi akula ke kahuna i nā kālā a pau i nā po'e'ilihune pō'ino loa.

Hope Christmas ma Europe i lilo inextricably ua hoʻopili me ka manaoio ia ma luna o ka Ewa o kēia lā e hiki mai Santa Claus (St. Rotehama), i haawi mai ai i na keiki hoolohe i ka waiwai hookupu. No ka loa'a'ana o nā ha'awina aloha, nā keiki e kau ana ma ke ahi ahi a kau i ko lākou mau kāma'a a me nā mole i lalo o ka lā'au. I ka pi'i'ana o ka hale ma ka hale ho'okipa, hā'awi'o Santa Claus i nā makana i loko o kēia mau "envelopes." 'O ke kumu Kalikimaka - "Kalina Kalikimaka" - ho'omaka i ka'a'ahu no ka pālahalaha'ana o ke'ano ma'amau. 'A'ole e like me nā'āina Slavic, ma'Europa,'a'ole i laulā'ia kahi lā'au Kalikimaka'oko'a (koe na'e no Germany, ka wahi hānau o kēia ku'una). 'O ke kumu, ma waho o nā lālā pinepine a me nā lālā pine, a me nā lālā o ka ululā'au, hana lākou i nā'āpana akamai e ho'opunipuni i waho o ka puka mua. Ua pana wale lākou ma Shrove i ka Poalua, i ka wā e puhi'ia ai lākou i ke ahi ma ka hale.

Noel ma Europe - ka ohana Holiday. He mea ma'amau ke'ākoakoa'ana ma ka māka'i mua o ka'ohana me ka'ohana nui. Ke kuhikuhi nei ke ku'una e hō'ili'ili i ka lā o ka lā ho'omaha, i ka lā 24 o Dekemaba. 'O nā hoahānau a pau e hā'awi aku i nā makana, a laila e hele i ka hale pule no ka Service All-Night, a noho ma ka home, e noho i kahi'aina ahiahi. Ma ka'eha o ka Mele Kalikimaka, he mea ma'amau ka lawelawe'ana i nā pālani'aina, a ma ke kakahiaka - nā'ai'ai wikiwiki.

Ma ka'āina'ākau o ke kūkulu'ākau, e ho'okipa'ia ai ka Mele Kalikimaka ma ka home, akā ma ke kūkulu hema - he'aha'aina'oli'oli a me ka hau'oli me nā ki'i ahi, nā mele a me nā'ahamele. Ke ho'olale'ale'a'ia ka Mele Kalikimaka ma'Italia ma kahi ho'oki'eki'e kūikawā. Ma nā alanui o nā kūlanakauhale, ma nā kihi nui e'ike'ia he "prezepio" - kahi hānai i hānau'ia ai'o Iesu Kristo. Hiki ke hana maika'i i kēia mau preseopios, a hiki ke lilo i mea ma'alahi. Ua hō'ike pinepine'ia lākou e ke ki'i,'o Iosepa lāua'o Maria,'o ka hoki a me ka bipi, e holo wikiwiki ana nā mea akamai i ke keiki me nā makana, nā kahu hipa e ho'omoe ana, akā i kekahi manawa i nā ki'i mai ka wā a pau. 'O ka papa mele maika'i loa i ka Vatican, kahi i hō'ike'ia ai nā ki'i ki'i Kalikiano i ka lō'ihi. Ma ka'A'a Mele Kalikimaka, nui ka po'e e'ākoakoa ma nā alanui e pili kokoke ana i nā pīpīpihi, e ho'opa'a a makemake i kekahi i kekahi "Bonnet Natal" - he Kalikimaka hau'oli.
