On Christmas Eve, there are church services that have drumming and dancing. Children often put on a nativity or other drama, and a choir comes out to sing while people dance. Songs are sung in the language that is understood the best, since there are 66 languages spoken in the country. Sometimes, the singing and dancing lasts all night long. Churches are full on Christmas Day, and traditional clothing is worn to the services. After church, people go home to exchange gifts and have a Christmas meal that traditionally includes stew or Okra soup, porridge and meats, rice and a yam paste called 'fufu'.
