GREECE

Greece (Irene)

On New Year's Day families cut the vasilopita to bless

the house and bring good luck for the new year. This is

usually done at the midnight of New Year's Eve. A coin

is hidden in the bread by slipping it into the dough

before baking. At midnight the sign of the cross is

etched with a knife across the cake. A piece of cake is

sliced for each member of the family and any visitors

present at the time, by order of age from eldest to

youngest. Slices are also cut for various symbolic

people or groups, depending on local and family

tradition.

Christmas in Greece (Glykeria)

On Christmas Eve, children go out to sing 'kalanda' (carols)

playing triangles. They used to carry a boat in the past

especially in the Greek Islands.

They are given money or sweets.

Christmas Trees are decorated although in the past they

used to use sailing ships instead.

The main Christmas meal is often Lamb or pork, roasted in

an oven or over an open spit. It's often served with a

spinach and cheese pie and various salads and vegetables.

As desserts there are Theeples (a kind of fried pastry) and

melomakarono. A traditional table decoration are loaves of

'christopsomo' (Christ bread)

In Greek Happy/Merry Christmas is 'Kala Christougenna'

In Greek Schools during the days leading to Christmas

~~~Theodora Chandrinou-Greece~~~

Waiting for Christmas, yet during

November in Greek Schools, we

start the preparations.

First of all we create an external

cheerful spirit, by decorating all

classrooms.

Children are full of inspiration and

they love to present their celebrating

creations!

Greece-Maria Mavromati

Before Christmas housewifes make

special sweets like melomakarona

by using semolina and kourabiedes

by using powered sugar.At

Christmas lunch we usually eat

turkey with rise or potaetos grilled in

the oven.

Christmas in Crete - in Greece (Popi Halkia)

Even Though I live in Xanthi, I come

from Crete.

In New Years Eve parents and

grandparents give to the children of

the family the KALH XERA

(translation good hand). In other

words they give money to the

children for the new year so the new

year to be wealthy and prosper and

the children usually kiss their hands

as a token of respect and love.

Sarikopites (Cretan

pies)

Sarikopites (pies)

Prepare a normal dough with 1/2 kilo of flour, a small cup of oil, 1 glass of

water, salt and a little lemon juice. Roll out the dough and cut in strips 8 to

10 cm wide and 25-30 cm long. Spread the sour "mizithra" (a kind of soft

Cretan cheese) all along the strips and fold them. Starting at one end,

twist the ribbon in a spiral. The shape is similar to a "sariki" (the traditional

headdress of Cretan men which is why the pies are called

"Sarikopites":sariki-pies). Deep fry and serve with honey.

Greece ( Karamitrou Sofia )

Klatharies or Kolianta - Bonfires in Christmas Eve

Klatharies - On Christmas Eve the inhabitants gather

brush from the surrounding area. Each neighbourhood

group builds tall, (three to six metres), conical shaped

mounds that are decorated sparsely with balloons and

tinsel. After nightfall a parade, including a brass band

playing local music, begins the celebration. In

succession each mound of brush is set afire as the

parade reaches the neighbourhood. The inhabitants

then dance around the fires. Many of the village youth

then stay up all night around the remnants of the

bonfires to start carolling early in the morning of

Christmas Eve, collecting money while singing door to

door.

Greece - Crete (Anna Liviaki)

On Christmas eve in a

natural cave at Spilia, a

Christmas traditional dish in Greece (Angeliki

Kougiourouki)

Bamboo Traditional festive accompanying dish.

Ιndispensable complement for CHRISTMAS

dinner. It is cooked all around my

region(Thrace) and can be baked or boiled.

The tradition wants to have gotten its name

from the bamboo, which means grandmother.

As the grandmother is old and goes to the end

of life, so is the "bamboo" eaten at the end of

the year. According to other people, the dish

took its name from the manufacturing material,

pork intestine, as pig was in every home, at

least the last 100 years, and its derivatives

accounted for the annual family needs. The pig

slaughtered on the eve of Christmas.

Christmas customs in Greece (Maria

Vassilopoulou)

On Christmas day there is

a family gathering to

celebrate the Holy day over

a rich meal. Stuffed turkey

is the main dish while

cabbage dumplings,

roasted pork,various

delicious pies and salads

are also on the Christmas

table.

Christmas and New Year in Greece Eleftheria

At Christmas, houses fill with

beautiful scents of sweet, as

melomakarono, kourabies and

diples. All friends and relatives

exchange their gifts and sweets.

Especially godparents seek the best

gift to their baptisteries.

On the first day of the New Year,

the smallest member of each family

knocks on the head all others with a

pomegranate for good luck.

Additionally, that day, the first who

comes to every home is said to

make omen for the whole year.

Christmas traditions in the Greek islands

(Angela Tsakiri)

People on the Greek

islands used to decorate

ships and boats and still do

but not as much as in the

past.

People on the Greek

islands hang a branch of

an olive tree on the door for

good luck.On New Years

Day they break a

pomegranate outside their

doors to symbolise

abundance of goods and

leave the water running for

a while.

ROMANIA

Romania (Tania Catargiu)

December 6 is St. Nicholas Day.

Christmas tradition in Romania-Ghelesian Silvia

In many parts of Romania,

it's traditional that someone

dresses up as a goat, with a

multicolored mask, and

goes round with the carol

singers. The goat is known

as the 'Capra' and it jumps

and dances around getting

up to lots of mischief!

Romania(Perisoru village)Nicolae Marina

In the country side, the caroling tradition comes in different

forms. There is the simple caroling, which involves only

people singing, and there are special carols, which include

dancing and more complex performances.

There is the Christmas carol which involves carolers

dressed as bears. In the past, a real bear was also included

in the dance. The tradition, called Ursul (the Bear Dance), is

mostly kept in most part of Romania including our village

Perisoru on New Year’s Eve. The tradition aims to purify and

fertilize the soil for the next year. The bear cult is of Geto-

Dacian origins; back then, the bear was a sacred animal.

Another special carol is called Capra (the Goat). In this

case, one or several carolers dress up as goats and dance

to a pipe tune.

Romania (Aura Ungureanu) Christmas Custom - The Star

This is another Christmas custom specificto the Romanian people and it takes placearound Christmas Eve.

Those who bear the Star and go carollingare between 7 and 14 years old.

The custom has a religious significance asit is related to the star that made its appearanceand guided the Three Magi coming from theEast.

Petre Felicia-Constanța, ROMÂNIA

Games with masks

The best known is the Goat, practiced in

villages south of Constanta. The priests say

that the custom has its roots in ancient times,

when St. Andrew Christianity spread in these

lands. Custom goat wandering there since

that time, and St. taught the natives to bring

the message of Christ's Nativity and so

appeared the carol.

A band of young goat nose accompanied

clămpănitor walk from house to house to

make wishes for health and prosperity.

Carolers make much noise, to ward off evil

spirits.

Celebrating Christmas in Romania (Váncsa Szilvia)

-middle part where live hungarian minorities

The parents and children are

celebrating the Christmas evening in

the church - I think the faith in God,

in Jesus is more important than any

else thing in this world.

I wish for every one Happy

Christmas!

Christmas traditions in Romania

in our school there is a tradition that

in the last week of the course, before

the holidays, students in each class

decorate a tree with stars and

golden balls. Teachers and students

sang lovely Christmas songs

It organizes a festival that presents

the most beautiful designs and the

best cakes me. Everyone is happy

Merry Christmas Craciun Fericit!

Christmas Goodies from Romania (Alina Mioara)

In Romania, there is no traditional

Christmas meal without the main

dish called ‘SARMALE’ - a sort of

mince meat rolls in cabbage leaves -

otherwise very tasty, accompanied

by a glass (or a couple) of our

traditional plum brandy named

‘TUICA’, as well as the famous

dessert ‘COZONAC’ - pound cake

with raisin and nut filling.

Christmas in Romania (Daniela Bucur)

In Romania, we always offer presents to each other and feel happy together. Merry Christmas to all of you!

FRANCE

France (Régine Huzen)

In France during the

Christmas time we

eat and offer a typical

sweet “La papillote”.

Christmas traditions in our family in France

Traditions vary according to family origins and

culture. In my family, what counts as much as

decorating the Christmas tree involves creating

objects that will fill the house with pleasant

fragrance. For instance, we thrust oranges with

many cloves: it is time-consuming but a nice

moment to share with all the members of the

family. We then put them in cupboards, or on

pedestal tables; We also offer some to our

dearest. It is a symbolical token to bring

cheerfulness to everybody all year round.

Another tradition is that everybody who enters

our home chooses a bauble and hangs it in the

Christmas tree, as a lucky charm.

We also bake cinnamon objects that we hang

everywhere to give off nice perfumes in the

house.

Traditions in French Guiana (FRANCE)

Every weekend, Christmas caroling parties are

organized. We call them “Chanté Nwèl”. People

join together to sing in a joyful atmosphere during

the Advent until December 24th. During these

parties, people eat a soup called “Creole soup”

made of vegetables and meat. There are as many

recipes as cooks!

It is really difficult to define a stereotyped

Christmas menu because of French Guianese

multiculturalism. You can find on the same table

Christmas ham, “Creole pâtés”or “Marinades”, foie

gras, oysters, salmon and so many delicious

dishes.

The only important thing is to join together around

a tasty meal in a happy atmosphere with the whole

family . The feast generally last from December

24th to December 25th. Some people go to

Christmas mass.

Joyeux Noël!

GEORGIA

Celebrating Christmas in Georgia

On this day, large processions make their way through

cities, towns, and villages throughout Georgia. These mass

walks, called Alilo, are central to Georgia’s unique

Christmas celebration. Banner-carrying clergy lead the

processions, and men, women and children follow. Dressed

as shepherds, soldiers, famous religious figures, or wearing

traditional Georgian clothes, the procession members

congratulate each other, and collect money for charities

Celebrating Christmas in Georgia

Christmas trees are an important part of Georgian

Christmas, as well. Georgian Christmas trees, called

Chichilaki, are carved from the branches of walnut trees.

Hanging, curled strands of white wood give these small

trees a distinctive, unmistakable appearance. It is easy to

see why Chichilaki are often called “Basil’s beard.”

More familiar Christmas concepts have a place in Georgian

festivities, as well. Santa claus, known as tovlis papa

(Grandfather Snow), is usually depicted wearing traditional

Georgian clothes and a fur cloak called a nabadi. Although

Grandfather Snow doesn’t have reindeer or a sled, he still is

believed to visit homes on Christmas eve, leaving presents

for the children.

Most homes also put up a Western-style decorated Christmas

tree, called nadzvis khe, in addition to the traditional Georgian

Chichilaki

Christmas in Georgia (Natela Kratsashvili)

Christmas is the most important holiday for

Georgians. It’s the most exciting event of the

year as well. Georgians celebrate Christmas on

7th of January(new style). On this day large

processions take their way throughout the cities

as well as the villages. People sing Christmas

Carol called “Alilo” and gather sweets and

money for charity and congratulate each-other.

Most families decorate Christmas tree and

Georgian traditional “Chichilaki”, made from

branches of walnut tree. On Christmas eve,

each family light a candle and put it on the

window-sill to meet Christmas at midnight.

Most of Georgian people go to nearby churches

to attend Christmas Mass. Then families gather

together to celebrate such a wonderful day!

Merry Christmas!!! :)

ALBANIA

Albania (Albana Eski)

On New Year’s eve all the family

getting together around the table to

celebrate.The table is usually full

with plenty of food and drinks.The

best of all is the New Year’s turkey

that is served with potatoes or

rice.As for deserst we eat Turkish

Baklava.After midnight the teens

usually go to celebrate with their

friends in a nightclub.

ITALY

Italy ( Emanuela Leto)

Il Mercante in Fiera

( the Merchant at the Fair) We usually play

games with our families after the Xmas big

dinner . One of this is played using special

cards with pictures on one side. There are two

decks of identical cards, the leader of the game

chooses some cards . put them on the table on

the covered side and put money on them or

sweets , money or sweets coming from the

“buying and selling” of the cards among the

players as in a market. Then the leader extracts

the identical cards and the players owning

them have to give him . The winners are the

ones who own ,at the end of the extraction, the

hidden cards with the money on them which

are the prizes.

CHRISTMAS IN ITALY

Christmas is coming...in every town

there are different and beautiful

decorations: coloured lights and

Xmas trees are everywhere, streets,

shops, balcony… Moreover, in each

house, families do a their own crib

where will born Baby Jesus.

During Xmas time, streets and

houses smell of traditional food and

cake: pettole (little fried balls of

bread dough), cartellate (biscuits like

roses with honey) and panettone.

Merry Xmas from Massafra- Italy

Christmas Bonfires (Italy_Calabria)by Chiara Torchia

On Christmas Eve day, all young people of each district

of my little town, gather woods to make big bonfires.

There is a sort of competition between the different

districts. All want to make the biggest bonfire!

While men prepare bonfires, women make sweet and

savory specialties to be offered to the people who at

night, after the Mass, go around in the town to admire

the bonfires, to dance and sing till next morning.

Here is a delicious sweet speciality with honey called:

“Pignolata”

Special Christmas sweets in Basilicata region in the

south of Italy

Christmas is time to prepare some

typical sweets at home. They are the

so called “cicirotti” that is fried

sweets fill in with chickpea, honey,

chocolate and cinnamon and

“strufoli” also fried sweets but

prepared with flower, eggs and

sugar. Delicious!

Christmas in Naples, Italy (Tonia Calò)

S.Gregorio ArmenoIn the old part of Naples there is a well known

street :Via San Gregorio Armeno.Here there

are a lot of small artisan workshops producing

traditional characters of nativity scene but most

of all the most famous men and women of our

daily life in any fields (politics-religion- art-

cinema - television…)

Christmas in Wales vs Sardinia

In Wales, the usual British traditions, making Christmas

pudding in October and Christmas cake a month before

Christmas, sending cards before 6th December, lots of

office parties and club parties dinners/lunches. By the time

Christmas comes, we’ve really had loads of Christmas

cheer. I think the tradition I love best is going Caroling with

friend. It’s wonderful to see children listening to you from

their windows and bringing a bit of community joy to people

who are alone most of the year. It makes it special for them

in a way and makes you feel good doing something for

others. Then the Christmas midnight mass with everyone

singing in the church, heartfelt and really letting down your

hair.

In Sardinia, my favourite tradition, the nativity scene set in

every corner of the town. The Zampognare, bagpipe

players or where I live reed music played on instruments

called ‘launeddas’. I need to hear them once a year as they

remind me of hot chestnuts around the fireplace on a cold

Christmas night with the family and lingering aromas of a

roast and spices from the Christmas sweet called ‘paisaba’

still present in the air. Best wishes from Tina

Italy (Valeria)

In my city, Palermo, we have a typical Xmas sweet: the

“Buccellato”, generally a ring-shaped cake made of a

pastry stuffed by dried fruits (figs, raisins, almonds, pine

and pistachio nuts) and covered by icing or powdered

sugar… many calories!!

Anyway, in addition to this and many other desserts our

tradition have brought to us, each member of my family

usually drinks a cup of chocolate on the very 25th of

December before unpacking gifts.

Merry Christmas

BULGARIA

This is how we celebrate Christmas

house lights the Yule log - cut trunk of oak, elm or Krusevo tree.

• The meals should be rich and includes everything that is produced in

the household as boiled corn, boiled beans, rolls, stuffed peppers with

beans or rice, dried fruits, pickles, onions, garlic, honey, walnuts and

wine. In the four corners of the room are placed nuts to illuminate the four

corners of the world.

•At midnight on Christmas Eve before Christmas, starts and the custom

- winter ritual for fertility, health and good luck(Koleduvane).On christmas

, after the church service, all of the people gather to dance, which are

generally believed to symbolize longevity. Dinner on 25 December is

much richer thanthe previous night, because it is allowed to eat meat.

•In Koleduvane are involved young men –newly married, engaged or

bachelors. The men are singing on the way to the door and into the

house. Ritual songs are performed differently depending on the place

they are and for who are they singing for. They are singing songs for

every one of the family members - from oldest to youngest. The hosts

usually give gifts like donuts , money, wine, and the ritual end with a big

feast for all of the performers.

•And last, but by no means no least, remember to wish something at

midnight on Christmas Eve before Christmas! According to legends, at

midnight the heaven opened and the wishes are coming true.

SPAIN

Victoria Carceller from Spain

In the region where I live, Valencia,

east of the country, there is a

tradition called “las estrenas”.

On 25th December after Christmas

lunch, the goodfathers (usually the

oncles) give the estrenas to their

goodchildren. The estrenas are a

small amount (sometimes not so

small) of money that children receive

after doing a short demonstration in

front of all the family, like singing a

song, recite a poem, say a joke ....

Victoria Carceller from Spain

After doing this , children

have to kiss their

goodfather’s hand and he

open it dropping the coins

or banknotes

Spanish Christmas- Presents

Just before the end of our

holidays, on the frosty

morning of the 6th of

January, we receive

presents from the Three

Wise Men.

Kids can’t sleep that night.

Adults can’t either...

Xmas traditions in Catalonia:

the “Caga Tió” (Karol Barriuso)

Caga Tió comes out on 8th December . It is a small log

with a smiley face, wearing the traditional red Catalan

hat - the Barretina. The name Caga Tió means 'Poo

Log'. Every day until Christmas Eve, children look after

the Caga Tió. They cover him with a blanket to make

sure that he is warm and they feed him every evening

with tangerines and cookies. This is to ensure that he is

nice and full so that he will “poo” out lots of treats on

Christmas Eve!

Clik here to view

a tale on the

tradition we created.

On Christmas Eve, after dinner, children are given a

stick with which they hit the Caga Tió. They sing a

special song:

"Caga Tió avellanes I torró (poo Tió, hazelnuts and

turron)

Si no vols cagar (if you don’t want to poo)

Et donanem un cop de pal” (we will hit you with a

stick)

The children then reach inside the Caga Tio's blanket

and find sweets and small toys. Similar to the sorts of

treats that children receive in their stockings from

Santa Claus.

“Els Pastorets” - “The shepherds” a traditional nativity

play from Catalonia. Fina Vendrell.

2 shepherds are the comic

characters that find the

devils and live funny

adventures before they

arrrive to Betlem to adore

the baby Jesus. Children at

school and adults in

theatres, perform this

famous Catalan tradition.

Wafer

We love decorating our Christmas tree with home

made ginger cakes. We used to decorate it with wafer.

Making such cribs is a special

tradition of Cracow. Every

year people make new ones.

Christmas Eve supper is the most

elevating moment. We serve 12

traditional dishes.

The meal starts with sharing wafer

called opłatek. We break pieces

from other family members’ wafers

and wish them all the best.

Children are allowed not

to eat all the dishes but

are encouraged to try

them at least. Almost all

families serve carp. There

are campaigns to save

carps from suffering.

Christmas in Poland

After Wigilia, the family gathers

under the tree, choinka, to exchange

gifts and sing carols.

Shortly before midnight, the family

gets ready to go to Midnight Mass

Portugal (Cândida)

Christmas is a wonderful time. There is music and

lights and the houses are decorated with Mistletoe and

other appropriate items.

A pine tree is decorated and all Christmas

presents are placed underneath it.

A nativity scene is built: this is a small

recollection of Jesus’ birth, with small clay figures and

moss; this is placed under the Christmas tree.

In fact, Portuguese Christmas has been

changing a little, because of the contact with other

cultures. Nowadays, Santa Claus is the one who

“brings” the gifts to the kids and not Jesus Christ any

longer.Concerning food, my Portuguese partner has

said it all! Delicious!

Since my early childhood, I’ve collected real

moss in the forest, with my beloved ones, to built

nativity scene :) Summing up, it’ s a time of joy!
