Traditions• After the dinner, we cut an apple in half
and if the core is pretty (Looking like a star), that means you are going to be healthy the whole year.
• A candle is lit up, it‘s a symbol of Christmas
• We throw nuts into corners so we will have food for the whole next year.

way for the whole year.
Nobody should be alone on Christmas.
