Our Christmas traditions
If I had to think about traditions we keep, it would be very simple. In fact my family doesn't keep so many traditions.
Before Christmas Day we bake some sweets. But it's not a tradition it is obviousness.
When THE DAY comes we make potato salad in the morning and we decorate the Christmas tree. All day we listen carols and we light the candels. It is for atmosphere. We also don't eat anything in that day (except some simple lunch without meat). Because we want to see gold pig! :)
At 5 p.m. we start with setting the table and frying cutlets. We dress elegantly and about 6 p.m. we are ready to start. We celebrate with all my siblings so sometimes there is not enough place. At the very beginning my mum read an article from the Bible about Nativity. We talk and have fun. We don't keep that tradition about eating fish because nobody likes it. When we are done my mum leave and put the presents secretly under the tree. We also put our gifts there. And we wait untill the bell ring. We stand behind the closed door and we look at the gold pig. It is my mum with a flashlight. But I think my little brother believes that it's real.
When we come to the room with all the presents we hold sparklers in our hands and we sing carol. After that we are opening all the presents. It lasts for a hour. Then we take a family photo. And our trafition we keep since forever is habit of flying little boats from walnut. And in the midnight we go to church.
On holidays we visit our family. And we watch fairytales on TV. And my own tradition is singing christmas karaoke. :D
