gather in the central square to arrange a
radish festival in honor of the upcoming
New Year.

Estonian Christmas
Estonia has adopted many traditions from
the Scandinavian countries. Therefore, it is
not surprising that they also call Christmas
jõulud, after the Swedish treasure of the
Winter Solstice.

Austrian Christmas
According to an old Austrian legend, St.
Nicholas (in other words, Santa Claus) has
an unpleasant, evil opponent - Krampus,
who interferes with a good wizard in a hurry
to deliver gifts to obedient children, builds
various intrigues, and in general performs
all the mandatory functions of a negative
character .
