Photos Showing How Christmas was Celebrated Around the World

In America, we typically think of Christmas as a celebration of snow, Santa, warm fires, and a beautifully decorated tree. But the traditions look different, depending on where you are in the world.

While some prefer eggnog, others prefer a pint of Guinness; while some call him Santa Claus, others know him as 'Sinterklaas.' Here's a look at 15 unique ways in which Christmas is celebrated around the world:

1. Japan

Forget Santa Claus!

When it comes to Christmas in Japan, Colonel Sanders wears the red suit. Although Christmas is not a national holiday, Kentucky Fried Chicken is the Christmas meal of choice on the big day, thanks to the "Kurisumasu ni wa kentakkii!" (Kentucky for Christmas) campaign back in 1974. The fast-food chain is so popular during the holiday season that they have a special Christmas countdown on their website and recommend customers to place their orders two months in advance!

2. Ireland 

There's nothing like the Christmas season to bring out Irish festivities, reunions, celebrations at midnight mass, and week-long partying. One of Ireland's many traditions is placing a lighted candle in the window on Christmas Eve to welcome Mary and Joseph in their biblical search for an inn.

Magneto Was Supposed to Die in 'X-Men: The Last Stand'

There were originally more victims in "X-Men: The Last Stand" where Professor X was disintegrated by Phoenix. In a storyboard obtained by Comic Book Movie, Magneto was supposed to meet his demise as well.

In the movie's final version, however, Magneto was saved due to "the cure" Beast injected on him. Magneto originally opposed the serum which was invented by pharmaceutical company Worthington Labs to suppress mutants' X-gene.

Moreover, the film featured the final battle taking place at Alcatraz Island but the storyboard showed Washington DC setting.

Brett Ratner directed the third "X-Men" film after Bryan Singer who helmed the first two films left the franchise to make "Superman Returns". Cyclops also became Dark Phoenix's victims, while Mystique and Rogue were among those taking "the cure" either forcibly or voluntarily.
Patrick Stewart starred as Prof. X, Anna Paquin as Rogue, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, Famke Janssen as Phoenix, and James Marsden as Cyclops. Released in 2006, the film got mixed reviews but gained success at box office.
