The religious people visit the church, because of a special mass tree. We start to have a Christmas dinner about 5.30 p.m. Before eating we pray for a while, we read some stores from the Bible and we have a glass of the alcohol. We tinkle with the glasses and wish Merry Christmas to each other. Then we have a dinner, which consist of a few courses. We used to have rolls with milk and curd for the started. Then we have a special cabbage soup with sausages, mushrooms and potatoes. The last course is a carp and potato salad. Finally we eat nuts and fruits. We have dried and fresh fruits. We finishing our eat with a waffle and honey. After eating we take the gifts which are under the Christmas tree. Everybody is happy and enjoying the gifts and the calm of this festive evening. At midnight some people used to go to church again. These people are Catholics.
