Rick Steves' European Christmas Part 10: Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is finally here and all over Europe people are celebrating in their own unique ways. In England, families await the arrival of Father Christmas; in Norway friends join hands in song; in Burgundy, a toast starts the celebration feast; at the Vatican, people pack St. Peter's to attend a glorious midnight mass; and, as Christmas day dawns, a joyful chorus heralds the birth of Jesus.
