Christmas in our family

Christmas in our family

Christmas holidays are the most beautiful days of the year. People all over the world love Christmas.

In our family, Christmas begins with lighting the first candle on the Advent wreath. Every Sunday, we light another candle, and when all four candles are lit, Christmas is here. In our family, we decorate the Christmas tree the day before Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, we fast and avoid eating meat.

Before dinner, we usually visit the cemetery to light candles for our late loved ones. After that, we have dinner. The first course is usually pea soup, followed by mushroom soup, and then we eat fish with potato salad. After dinner, we gather around the Christmas tree to unwrap presents.

This is a very happy moment because we receive some lovely gifts. On Christmas Eve, we also attend midnight Mass. The next day, on Christmas Day, our family stays at home, and we usually watch a Christmas story. Another important day during the Christmas season is New Year's Eve, or Silvester, when we stay up until midnight to welcome the New Year.

The Christmas holidays in our family end on the holiday of the Three Kings.

Christmas is a wonderful time when families come together after a long time apart. Year after year, Christmas never loses its magic.
