    Default Who celebrates christmas and if so how do you celebrate?

    I celebrate but I celebrate on 7th january not on 25th december.

    Some traditions

    -Badnjak, is a oak tree usually only a small branch we bring from church home and burn it on 2nd day of christmas.
    -christmas eve, we eat fish, and fast. we dont eat meat, milk, butter, eggs etc.
    -prayers usually i speak the lords prayer before we eat and my mum gives me some money for it (tradition)
    -food (main dish is grilled piglet its called pecenje which literally means roasted or baked, which is a meat but can be also goose or something else but mostly its piglet) sarma, soup, desserts, salads

    + i would listen to orthodox church music on youtube and write greetings on facebook and forums maybe take a few pictures

    Christmas tree 2015/2016 (2016/2017 i didnt had one we decided after our dad died that we dont have one but we had some other decorations)


    pecenje (piglet) 2014/2015 (since i celebrate in january)

    What do you do on December 25 (since I'd assume that most businesses are closed)?

    Also important now to mention. for me its the birthday of jesus christ, the birth of jesus christ, some might think thats self-explanatory but i heard different things from different people some said its pagan and they celebrate the winter solcistice, one girl on apricity i dont want to name said its celebration of satan and it is satanic etc. and some atheists maybe just want gifts food and two days off. so its not self-explanatory really. to me its the birth of christ though.

    I have nothing against the more secular parts of Christmas (trees, Santa, etc) as long as the religious meaning is acknowledged.

    I view it as the birth of Christ but also as a holiday with fun secular elements.
