Merry Christmas In Ho Chi Minh City

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN HO CHI MINH CITY

In Vietnam, Christmas Eve is often more important than Christmas Day. Christmas isn't an official public holiday and many people think it's only a holiday for Christians.

While Christmas is the happiest time of year, it can also be very…confusing, especially when you are going to spend it in a Buddhist country like Vietnam. So, how can you enjoy a very Merry Christmas when it’s just another day here in Saigon?

5.Santa Claus In Vietnam

It's very hot for Santa in Vietnam and it can't be very comfortable wearing all that velvet in a hot country! Santa is called "Ông già Noel". There are many charities which will train people who would like to be Santa Claus on Christmas Day. The training program includes from children toys, raindeers to the Jingle Bells song. Santa Clauses ride motorbikes instead of raindeers to bring gifts to children, including children in orphanages. After wearing the Santa Claus outfits, they all put some white powder on their faces to look more like Western people. So children in Vietnam love Santa Claus.
