So this month's WW Academy's wall newspaper will be on how each country celebrates Christmas.
Is that okay?
Christmas at Hetalia Academy
Sounds interesting!
Yes, that seems like a very fitting topic.
Since last month's was about each country's beer.
Mr. Germany was supposed to be gathering information, but instead...
A-Ahem!
So for starters, how do you celebrate Christmas, Italy?
At my place, we illuminate a mountain...
...roast a giant turkey...
...and give presents to people who we're indebted to.
What about you, Japan?
I-I...
Let's do our best to prepare for the Christmas sales offensive!
Again, Japan?!
Say what you believe in!
Understood.
In my country, we celebrate Christmas with our families.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
All right, let's go out to gather some information.
Okay!
Gotta take notes.
As for America
As for America...
Huh? Christmas?
We take it very seriously!
As for lights, they're all over buildings and houses, and sweets are colored in Christmas colors!
I made this year's cake. Care to try it?
No! No! No! No! No!
No thank you! No thank you!
M-My stomach's not feeling too well today...
HETALIA
As for Russia
As for Russia...
December 25th isn't a holiday in my country.
Christmas is January 7th for us, but really, it's more of a New Year's celebration.
Incidentally, a man called Ded Moroz, who performs miracles, comes to my place.
We often make dolls of him.
Wow, awesome!
They also say those dolls start to move on their own after the 25th.
Don't make this a scary story!
Geez, it's not even supposed to be scary!
I'm scared!
HETALIA
And... As for China
And... as for China...
It's now prohibited to put Christmas trees up.
What? Really?
Yeah, because they're so flammable.
Hong Kong taught us how to do it, and we started the tradition, but...
I have a feeling something's a bit off...
Oh, and we eat pizza.
No no, I think it suits you very well.
HETALIA
Wow, there are some ways of celebrating Christmas that I never even knew about!
You're right.
There's more interesting data than I expected.
All right! Let's go interview him next!
As for France...
As for France
Huh? You want to spend Christmas with me?
Where'd you get that idea?
Well, my Christmas is gorgeous and romantic.
Also...
We treat Santa Claus to wine.
S-So Santa Claus delivers presents to kids while he's drunk, huh?
So, does it look like you guys will be able to whip up a good paper?
Yes, probably.
France! If you ever see drunk Santa, take a picture and send it to me, okay?
All right, let's go!
The next one's going to be on the front page!
HETALIA
Huh? Can I really be on the front page?!
As for Finland...
As for Finland
We thought we'd save you for last.
Tell us a lot about Santa and stuff!
Santa lives in the mountains between Russia and Finland.
Santa's too famous, so why don't I tell you about Christmas saunas?
We all go into a sauna before Christmas.
That's definitely Finland all right.
Also, we melt tin from the leftover flames from the sauna.
Then we dip them in water, and determine our fortunes for the new year according to the shape of it!
Recycling, huh?
Fabulous. Good for the environment.
Thanks! I think we'll be able to write a good article!
HETALIA
All right! We can write a report now.
Yeah.
Oh! You never told us how you celebrate Christmas, Germany!
Tell us now, since we're done!
Hmm, let's see...
My place is famous for its Christmas markets.
Other than that, we make bakeries and advent wreaths.
Cool!
Okay, I have a question for you guys too.
Well... do you guys have any plans for Christmas?
Germany...
Of course not!
I guess it's going to be the three of us again this year.
Aren't you pumped?
I'll go buy presents!
Yeah, let's make this a fantastic Christmas.
Hey hey papa, give me wine!
Hey hey mama, hey hey mama!
I can't forget that taste
of the bolognese I ate before!
Draw a circle, there's Earth!
I'm Hetalia!
Ah, a fabulous world,
that can be seen with a paintbrush.
Let's have a toast with our boots!
hetalia
Oh good, there you are.
Mind telling me a bit about your Christmas?
Okay...
