Many Brazilian Christmas traditions come from Portugal as Portugal ruled Brazil for many years.  Nativity Scenes , known as Presépio are very popular. They are set-up in churches and homes all through December. Christmas plays called 'Os Pastores' (The Shepherds), like the plays in  Mexico , are also popular.

He also told a story of a wealthy family inviting peasants into their home to share the Christmas spirit. Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas were the first states to legal...
