In Hungary, Santa doesn't have anything to do with Christmas, he comes on December 6th. On this day Santa makes his rounds among the shops, schools and parades just like he does in other countries. Kids get candy and chocolate in red wrapping. In some parts of the country people used to hang their trees out of apartment windows, tall buildings, or put them on balconies if they did not have a yard or garden.
All public transportation stops as well.
So the afternoon and early evening is occupied by decorating the tree. Later a light dinner is served after which family members would place the present that they got for each other under the tree. After the tree is lit, present are opened and families spend the rest of the evening together. Hungarian Christians often go to midnight mass. The following two days are national holidays and people usually spend the first day with their immediate families, having a big festive meal that starts around 2pm.
