Hello Emma! Thank you for the video. Merry Christmas! З Різдвом! I live in Kyiv, Ukraine and we celebrate Christmas on January 7 according to the Julian calendar. We also have an official day off on December, 25 for those who celebrate it then :) This is a very big and important family holiday in Ukraine. You can celebrate New Year with your friends, but you will always be home for Christmas. Traditionally, you sit at the festive table in the evening of January 6 when the first star appears in the sky (the Christ is born). You put 12 dishes on the table (12 apostles). We put hay in the center and place a big bowl with "kutia" on it - a special cereal dish that we cook for Christmas only. It's surrounded with apples. In each corner of the table, you should put a clove of garlic to protect yourself from evil spirits. You light up the candles and you have to eat a few spoons of kutia first, and then you move to the rest of the dishes. You also have to put a small mug of kutia covered with a piece of bread on the windowsill until the next morning, so that your deceased relatives will see and "come" eat with you. We also exchange gifts for Christmas, but we don't have that type of games in my family. We sing traditional Christmas songs, koliadky. On Christmas eve, you say "Khrystos sya rozhdaye" (Christ is born) and reply "Slavimo yoho" (Glory to him). In the morning, the 7th of January, we say 'Z Rizdvom!' (Merry Christmas) and greet each other saying "Khrystos narodyvsya" (Christ was born) - "Slavimo yoho". When I was a child, I lived in a small town and we went caroling on January 8. And neighbors usually gave us pocket money and sweets. I'm sure you heard the world famous Ukrainian song "Carol of the Bells" which is originally named Schedryk and is not a Christmas song, koliadka, but an old style New Year song - schedrivka :) Did you know that we celebrate the old-style New Year on the 13-14th of January? =) This is the time when we sing schedrivky. Of course, now this song, just like a lot of other great hits, is listened to and sang during the entire festive time worldwide. Besides, on January 7 we go to visit our relatives or invite them to be our guests. We also go to the cemetery to put a glass of kutia and some sweets on the tombs of our deceased relatives. Sorry for the long read :) Best wishes to you and your family! Merry Christmas!

@Оксана Алексеевна Such an interesting read about your country and traditions. I was wondering if the stories about the fake spiders and webs decorating the Christmas Tree in the Ukraine is true?

[@JulianPaisita]

Hi Emma. I am from Colombia and I really like to celebrate Christmas because the main reason for this is to remember the birth of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, as you say, the Christmas in Australia and other countries is just a cultural celebration to buy and give some gifts. It´s not bad, but sincerely the word "Christmas" comes from Christ, therefore the main reason for Christmas has been and should continue being to celebrate and honour Jesus Christ for coming to this world to restore the relationship between God and us as humans. So I celebrate Christmas because Jesus is alive and God´s not dead. God bless you and I wish you a Merry Christmas !!! Emma !!!

[@mmmEnglish_Emma]

It's true. Christmas is more of a cultural clebration in Australia. But there are still many people here who celebrate religiously too. My best wishes to you and your family as you celebrate this special day, Julian

[@gabinoduran8634]

I'm from México and here se celebrate the birth Jesús the son of GOD 😇😇😇 it's a good thing because this celebration reminds us that we should behave very well !!!

[@jamespyetro]

Hi Julian, I respect all religion, but have a big mistake about celebrate Christmas. Cause Jesus Christ wasn't born in December 25th. In the bible doesn't talked what date that his birth. Although some evidence suggests that his birth may have occurred in the spring (why would shepherds be herding in the middle of winter?). If you looking for in the histories u can see that in the past was celebrate the winter solstice in December 25th, but the pope Julius I chose December 25. It is commonly believed that the church chose this date in an effort to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival. unhappy many people celebrate the christmas thinking is Christ's birth but is a big lying!!!
