In my family celebrated not only the New Year, but also Christmas. For us it is a family holiday. My brother and I meet it with their parents and grandparents. Usually all relatives gather at our house, dressed up in a Christmas tree, with the remainder of the New Year.
Prepare for Christmas we start in the morning. Mom prepares tasty Christmas Pudding with Raisins. Once the evening now, I am part of this kuti to his godmother, who lives nearby. Such is the tradition. And it gives me some Christmas gift.
Then I with friends and girlfriends go caroling. Mom does not allow to go late, so we make it to the gala dinner. We come to familiar people and sing carols about baby Jesus, about the Mother of God, lambs and the first star in the sky. We say that the Earth came joy, because Jesus Christ was born.
"Nakolyadovannye" candy and small money we share with each other. Once we dressed up in costumes and go mummers. We had a goat, and even Roma, bear and other characters. I had a gypsy outfit.
In the evening, the whole family gathers for the holiday table. This evening is called Christmas Eve. Expensive gifts to each other, we give to others, because everything has already donated to the New Year. All sit there kutyu first, and then other dishes. The whole family, we remember deceased relatives, and my grandmother puts a plate with kutey separately, as if for them.
