My Favorite Celebration
Nataliia Blonska
My favorite holiday is Christmas. We celebrate Christmas from December 25 to 27, so in my home country of Ukraine it lasts 3 days. I also celebrate Christmas in the USA, but only for one day. We start Christmas by cooking kutya. It is a special dish with wheat, poppy seeds, honey and various nuts. We do this one day before Christmas. Kutya is a very important dish for us and before eating kutya we pray to God. Usually, on these days, we visit church and our friends. We eat delicious food and sing Christmas songs. Also, we pay money to children if they sing Christmas songs for us. In conclusion, Christmas is the best holiday for me because I can meet all my relatives and friends, and we can spend this time together.
