P5 – We celebrated Christmas on the 7th of January with my family.
And I want to know how many dishes did you have during the Holy Supper? What were they?
P6 – You Know that Holy Supper has 12 lenter dishes symbolic of the 12 Apostles who gathered with Jesus Christ at the last Supper. The meal is traditionally meatless and milk free. We had such dishes as kutia, beans, fish, varenyky (pyrogy), holubtsi, mushrooms, borhch, buns with fruit and poppy stuffing and compote made from dried fruit.
Tell me, please, did you go out singing carols with your friends and relatives?

P8 – No, I didn’t.
P7 – Why not?
P8 – Because it isn’t a Ukrainian tradition. I got many presents during New Year holiday. Do you know in which countries do people have the tradition to give presents during Christmas holiday?
P9 – I know that children in Great Britain, in USA and in other English-speaking countries get presents during Christmas holidays. I want to know did you have the New Year Tree last year and which of you decorated it?
