WHAT DO WE DO ON CHRISTMAS? In Slovenia we celebrate christmas with our family. On the christmas evening we make a christmas tree and we eat christmas dinner with our families.We wait untill the next morning. If we`re lucky we have snow on christmas. If we have it, it‘s is a perfect atmosphere. On christmas we all have a good time. We get presents under the tree, and we all are verry happy.

CHRISTMAS TREE On christmas night we make a christmas tree. We decorate it with buch and some decorating lights. We do this together with all our family. Under that tree Santa puts presents. We are very happy when we get them.

CHRISTMAS DINNER We make a christmas dinner too. That is roast or chicken, potato and lettuce or french salad. In french salad there are pickles, carrots, peas and mayonnaise. And for dessert we make bisccuites and potica. We eat that in the evening. And it is alwais delicious.
