Trees and Stockings for Santa

Most common Christmas traditions in Africa to look out for

Trees are put up in South Africa and children leave stockings for Santa outside their doors. This western-style Christmas is not observed in major parts of Africa. Palm trees are usually decorated in West Africa and there are no stockings or the expectation of Santa Claus. You will find fake trees at public places mounted by city authorities with decorations in Nigeria and Ghana.
