Let's Share New Year's and Christmas Traditions!

Christmas is a religious holiday and it is rather important for our family.  We decorate the house and cook special Christmas dishes. There are usually a lot of presents under the Christmas tree.

We start celebrating in the evening on January 6. A special Christmas dish is kutya. It is made of boiled wheat or rice with nuts, raisins and honey. There is a tradition that godchildren bring kutya to treat their godparents and celebrate Christmas Eve together.

  I like Christmas very much.

In my family we love New Year’s Day very much and have some family traditions of celebrating this holiday.

My younger sister and I decorate New Year’s Tree. The father usually decorates the apartment. As for mother, on New Year’s Eve she is always busy with preparing festive dinner and laying the table.

  When the clock strikes midnight we make our New Year’s wishes and give each other gifts.  We are always happy and excited!

     The New Year’s Day is the most favorite holiday of many people.

There are a lot of traditions of celebrating New Year in Ukraine, they have changed with centuries. Some modern ones have been borrowed from the western cultures.
 In my family we prepare for the New Year’s Day in advance:  decorate the New Year’s tree and the flat, prepare gifts and set up a festive table.

 As for, me New Year is a family holiday, for the entire relatives gather at one table seeing off the New Year, wishing you all the best, and waiting for midnight. At midnight we congratulate each other with its arrival, and in the streets of the town we hear the laughter and see the lights of fireworks.

     My favorite winter holiday is Christmas. It is on January 7. On Christmas Day, we go to church with my family. Mom makes 12 dishes, so Jesus Christ had 12 disciples of the Apostles. When we return from the church, we sit at the holiday table. On this day, people wish each other happiness and good health, praise the Lord. Boys and girls attend their friends’ and neighbours’ flats and houses, singing Christmas carols. In Ukraine they are called “kolyadas”. We have much fun on Christmas!
