Traditions and habits at Christmas Christmas are a holiday of calm and peace. Advent begins four weeks before Christmas Eve. Homes are filled with the aroma of freshly baked Christmas sweets. People go to Christmas markets.We buy freshly- cut Christmas trees or we he artificial tree from last Christmas. The typical meal for Christmas Eve dinner is fish soup, fried carp, potato salad, sweets and fruits. After dinner, the family go around the tree to open presents.

We give a money under the tablecloth on a table because we want more money for a next year.

We eat a garlic to be healthy for the next year.
