The Christmas in Lithuania
 In
Lithuania we put houses in order. We eat a goose sweets. People believe, that on the first
Christmas day they can't lend things, because the next year it will be in possible to
return them back. If you want to be a good man you must shake the snow off the trees.

Christmas Eve
On the Christmas Eve all the family sits by the table. There are 12 dishes on the
table. They symbolise 12 months of the year.
Christmas Eve food varies from bread to fish. There are nuts, bread, poppy
"milk", herring, salad, potatoes, nuts, etc. The hostesses put some straws under
the tablecloth. Every member has to choose one.
It is said that who chooses the largest one is the richest!. |
 Santa Claus
Our Santa Claus wears-long red trousers and a long red coat. Our Santa has got a long
white beard and moustaches. He puts on his hat and a wide black belt. Santa Claus visits
us on the Christmas night and puts presents. We get different presents heavy and
light… |
Christmas tree
 On
Christmas all the family gets together. Everyone has a beautiful Christmas tree.
We decorate it with Christmas tree ornaments, and sometimes with candles and garlands.
On Christmas everyone receives presents. Santa Claus puts the presents under the Christmas
tree for good children.
When we look at our Christmas tree, our best thoughts and dreams come to us.
A Christmas tree is so beautiful and it fills our hearts with joy and happiness.

 Our
Christmas by the Baltic sea
We went to the sea to celebrate Christmas. We burnt a fire. There played games with
parents.
We threw a bottle with a letter into the sea and hoped that someone in the other city
would find it. In the letter we wrote our wishes and we hoped that they would come true in
2000 year.
