Christmas can be done in different ways; to show a scene on biblical themes or to arrange a Christmas matinee and carnival at the same time. But whatever it was, the holiday should be well thought out. During this holiday everybody wants to feel a little bit of a fairy tale, even for one night. It does not matter who, princess or robber, pirate, or astrologer, or maybe an angel or Santa himself, but the costume for the carnival should be chosen carefully. No matter what image was selected for the festival, costume suitable to make a holiday memorable and vivid.
It is not known from where the tradition went arrange abundant Christmas meal, perhaps, from the Latin Saturnalia (the ancient festival of the winter solstice, Romans celebrated December 25) when the wine flowed freely, and on the tables were crowded with an abundance of food. When December 25 was celebrated Christmas tradition to get together for close family circle was a rich banquet table called Gala Dinner.
Christmas table - this is as an integral part of the holiday as a festive Christmas tree and Santa Claus. There is no clear tradition in each country are preparing their own way, but there is one general rule that complies with all of Europe, without exception; the table at Christmas should be ample. Indeed, before the holiday should post when you can only lean foods. On the Christmas table in Italy, usually served cold dishes, meat and dessert, served in the Ukraine sochivo (table generally consists of 12 meatless dishes). In Spain, the first fed milk soup, seafood and then only after the turkey - the main dish of the Christmas table.
Sometimes, instead of turkey Spaniards prepare Atlantic recipes like fish. This fish is very expensive, but on holiday you can still afford a little luxury. In Germany, the main dish - roasted goose with apples and cabbage. Lithuanian people on Christmas Eve used to eating only lean foods. On the table, they are usually salads, kutya, fish and other meatless dishes. Meat is excluded. Roast goose can afford only a day after a family visit to the church.
People in Germany, and England cannot imagine Christmas without food from the bird. English traditional Christmas dish is a pudding, which stuck a sprig of fir. The main decoration of festive meal is a simple little Christmas tree. The most famous Danish Christmas dishes include rice porridge with raisins and cinnamon, as well as roast goose with apples. On Christmas Eve porridge is left open to the dwarves could eat meals and the following year did not harm the owners.
In general, the Christmas menu can be quite varied. As you move from one country to another christmas foods and recipes get vary on large scale. There is nothing like similarity except the massage from God Jesus Christ "follow the path of honesty and truth". Thus, we should celebrate christmas in our won way but should be on one path of humanity.
