Each nation has its own customs and traditions. They have developed over many centuries and are hallowed by the ages.

The Ukrainian land is also rich in them. Traditions are especially respected in the western Ukrainian lands. I have a grandmother who lives there, to whom I liked to go on vacations as a child, especially in winter. Why?

Because it is at this time that the Christmas holidays fall, which take place there in a special way.
In Ukraine, this holiday has acquired a purely family character. On such a frosty festive evening, people try to gather the whole family under one roof. Our family gathers in our grandmother's house, where the smell of the stove and green Christmas tree, fresh bread and kutia smells. This evening, everyone forgets about any misunderstandings and fights, forgives each other's disrespect and offense. The whole family is actively preparing to honor such a significant event. Every year this day was special and a little magical for me, this atmosphere cannot be expressed in words! I hope that my family will also have such a tradition and such memories))
