Hey,
Christmas time is coming, so I would like to share what we would cook or bake in xmas... :)

The main food in the Christmas eve is the "kapustnica", a soup made of sauerkraut and mushrooms, some "infidel" versions are with bratwurst etc.
Then, depending on families and traditions, its the fish fillets with a potato salad (made of various vegetables, for example cucumber, carrot, potatoes,... with mayonnaise and the Tartar sauce). You know how it's delicious? :P

Also there are some cookies, for example medvedie labky - "bear's pads", "zliepané", "košíÄ

The native inhabitants of my parent's village all go to the special church session at midnight. The natives still consider us import even though we live here 20 years now. (That's Staphorst for ya)

What we do is... spend 5 hours in a car to visit all of the family in one day... :cry:

It's good to see everybody from the family at least some day, but...

... is very sad... :cry:

On the day before New Year's eve, it's much simpler; no special atmosfere in the air as it was in xmas, watching TV from 20:00-01:00, firing some color panzerfausts and throwing mega's out of the window is a regular routine. Out there in the snow, it sounds like world war 2. :) Poor dogs, they are scared of all that noise :(

We invite our entire (on my mum's side) extended family to our house for Christmas lunch. About 2/3 of them turn up, meaning somewhere between 20-25 people. This means people from all over Australia (who have to sleep somewhere here). :S

Because my parents are divorced, I go to my dad's place for breakfast. This is where I meet the rest of the extended family. Breakfast consists of Pancakes and coffee, usually.

For lunch, we do the usual English-tradition foods (turkey, ham, Christmas cake), but with lots of Australian-tradition foods as well (barbecued meat, crayfish, cold meats, etc).

We're not much of a religious family, so we spend Christmas Eve reading books and listening to Christmas music (sometimes if the ABC put it on, we watch the King's College choir).
