Christmas in My Family.
Hello! My name is Alexander. I live in Ukraine. My
family is large. I live with my parents and grandparents. I've got two elder
sisters Olga and Anna. Now they are students of Kyiv University and they visit
our place only on holidays and some family occasions. Each Ukrainian family has
its own customs and traditions. Ours is not an exception. My parents are very
sociable and friendly people, so from time to time our house is full of guests.
Our favourite holidays are New Year, Christmas and Women's Day. My mother
thinks that at night of New Year's Eve the old year with all its troubles
leaves us forever and the New Year with all our hopes and expectations knocks
at our doors. On the eve of January the 7' we start celebrating Christmas. It's
a real ritual for ray grandparents. My granny always gets ready for this
religious holiday beforehand. On Sviat Vechir we gather around the table for a
holy supper of twelve symbolic dishes. We are not allowed to start supper until
the first star appears in the sky. We begin our supper with the kutia (a dish
of honey, poppy seeds and wheat kernels boiled in pure rainwater). There are no
meat and meat products on our table. My granny is a wonderful cook, so we enjoy
her varenyky, holubtsi and desserts made from dried fruit and honey. After
tasty supper we go to bed. Early in the morning we go to church to take part in
the church service. When we come back home we give each other presents and wish
"Merry Christmas'". All boxes with the presents are located under
Christmas tree. It's a nice time when my sisters are at home and we've got a
lot of happy moments together.
