Christmas Eve
In the morning we decorate Christmas tree and put presents under it.
We prepare dishes for Christmas dinner. Traditionally there should
be twelve dishes.
These are: borsch with ravioli or mushroom soup, carp and other fish, cabbage with pea, pierogi
(dumplings) stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms, herrings and
vegetable salad. We don’t eat meat on Christmas Eve.

We always put one extra plate for an unexpected guest, because on this day
nobody should be alone.
We wait until first star appears in the sky to start Christmas dinner.
First we read a fragment of the Bible and pray. Then we share wafer and give wishes to one
another.
After Christmas dinner we sing carols and open our presents.
