Christmas Eve gathers a large company at one table in our house. Before sitting down at the table, relatives say words of congratulations and give gifts. Well, then everyone tries kutia and treats themselves to other dishes. Usually warm and intimate conversations are held at the table. On Christmas night, my brothers and sisters and I always run into the yard. Usually there is a lot of snow outside, the weather is windless and it is very pleasant to watch the stars. Why else do I love Christmas? For the opportunity to listen to beautiful carols. It may sound strange today, because this tradition is more often supported in villages, but we have a lot of young people at carols who knock on houses to wish happiness and announce the birth of Christ. And it's very interesting.

Christmas is a bright and magical holiday for me. I really like him, and I'm really looking forward to his coming. The night before Christmas is full of magic and secrets. It is said that at this time both light and dark forces reign on earth, and on Christmas night the girls arranged fortune-telling to find out their fate. According to tradition, before Christmas, each hostess prepares kutia, which will be the first dish on the Christmas table. And it was kutya, along with another evening, that the godchildren wore to their godparents. By the way, they used to sit down to dinner exactly when the first star was rising. Well, the seventh of January becomes a very significant day for everyone. At Christmas, mummers run through the streets with their nativity scene and sing of the birth of Christ, wishing happiness and well-being in every home. For this, the owners treat carolers with various goodies, give food and money. In the essay it is worth mentioning that many traditions of the Christmas holiday are lost, but the holiday still knocks at every house, including ours.
