Christmas Eve or Badnjak

Badnjak is on the 24th of December. On that day we decorate our homes with a tree.We usually put the wheat plants and manger under the Christmas tree.

People plant wheat seeds on St Lucy's Day (on 13 December). We tie it with ribbons and place a candle in the middle. Wheat plants are believed to bring good luck.

• Then we have a festive lunch. We eat turkey with „mlinci“. Mlinci are traditional pasta. We also eat French salad. That is a salad with cooked carrots, potatoes, pickles, peas and eggs mixed with mayonnaise and a bit of mustard.

Zvončići• Dolove i brijeg, zabijelio je snijeg,

Sa saona kroz noć naš se čuje smijehOkićen i plah, naš vranac juri svud,

A zvona dalek zvuk pokazuje nam put.

Hej, zvončići, zvončići, zvone cijelu noć,I ostaju u sjećanju što nikad neće proć.

Hej, zvončići, zvončići, zvone na sav glas,Kroz tihu noć, čitav kraj, zvone za sve nas.

Ponoć već je tu, za satom ide sat,Juri vranac naš, ko da nikad neće stat.

Tiho pada snijeg, ko perje leti lakPrijatelj je drag, veseli mu se svak.

Pahuljice padajte• Pahuljice padajte meke i guste,

na široke ceste i stazice puste,

jer već se bliži onaj čas,kad nama dođe Djeda Mraz x2

• Osvjetlite zvijezdice putove, drumeposvijetlite kućice, polja i šume

jer već se bliži onaj čas,kad nama dođe Djeda Mraz x2

Dječice pjevajte veselu pjesmua svijeće na boru nek radosno bljesnu

jer već se bliži onaj čas,kad nama dođe Djeda Mraz x2
