Christmas in Ukraine is celebrated on the 7th January is because, like many countries where the main Church is the Orthodox Church, they use the old 'Julian' calendar for their church festivals. The main Christmas meal, called Holy Supper is eaten on Christmas Eve (6th January). Traditionally people fast (don't eat anything) all day but you might start the day drinking some holy water that has been blessed at church.

Usually in Italy we celebrate Christmas by having lunch with the entire family, before or after that we recive some presents. Usually money or clothes.
In Italy during the days before and after Christmas we decorate our houses with the Christman tree and some times also with a nativity scene.

Christmas in my opinion is the most beautiful holiday, because you are with the family, eat, receive gifts and make lots of games together. This year I spent a beautiful Christmas with all my great family gathered in a house, we were more than 40. I was very happy and I did not want that time was over. Unfortunately, Christmas has already passed but I'm already counting down for the next one.

Again the beauty of a city near water. On this side of the river  you can visit the most famous Port wine cellars, learn about its production and … (the best part!) you can taste its different varieties.

Porto, in the North of Portugal, is one of my favourite cities. It’s a soulful romantic city spreading along the banks of the river Douro.
