Answer from Slovenia: Christmas traditions










Yes, December is here and soon Christmas trees will be standing in our homes. In the photo you can already see some of our this year's school decorations. On 21st December there will be a Christmas choir concert at our school.
Our secretary says that before Christmas she does general home cleansing.
We are looking forward to the presents that we get from Santa who is really our mum and dad, it just looks like it's him.
This weekend many of us got small presents (mostly sweets and fruit) from St. Nicholas and at the end of the year there is another tradition of Father Frost which is similar to Father Christmas.





What do you eat for Christmas? We eat our traditional food potica. Do you remember it? Many in our class go to midnight mass on 24th December and we will have cribs under our Christmas trees.
We also light one candle every advent Sunday. On Friday our 6th graders made their own Christmas table decorations. We did the same last year.








Your market looks very interesting. How much money did you raise? Where would you like to go at the end of class 6?
We wish you all the best!!!
