Every year when we decorate the
karácsonyfa (christmas tree) we normally have a big meal afterward. This is a common Hungarian tradition. We decorate the tree with ornaments and then have a big meal.

First thing that my family does is we wake up. We eat first before we open presents and I'm ok with that. We do a long prayer and then we eat. When we are finish, we go in an age line. If you don't know what an age line is it is a line when we start too youngest to oldest. The adults give us are gift and we find a place to open it.

Oplatec, Aka Christmas wafer, is a thin, flat tasteless wafer that is inscribed with a Christmas scene (it's kinda like the host at mass). you share one with your family each week during the Christmas season after giving best wishes to each other. The Christmas wafer is a symbol of forgiveness and reconciliation, friendship and love.

Tango is a sensual dance and a musical genre that has gained international fame for its attractive fame way of being.

In my family and in Boliva making bunuelos is very common around there. It is like bread like, but it is smoother and softer. During Nochebuena and Navida we make this very good bread like food. Sometimes when the weather is good, we go to a relative house and eat it as a family. We also we eat it with powder sugar.
