Share how your village celebrates Christmas

Every village celebrates in its own way. If yours has a public Christmas programme — a midnight mass, carol singing, a church fair, a community feast — add it as an event with its date, time and venue. For your family's customs, the food you make, or what the elders remember, write a post with photos.

On your village's page, choose Add an event for a public celebration, or Write a post (add #christmas) for traditions and photos.
You sign in with your mobile number; posting needs a one-time photo ID check from your dashboard.
A moderator checks every submission before it appears. Nothing is published automatically.
Post only your own photos, and only of people who agree — never of children without their parents' consent.
