Name one Christmas tradition that anyone will ever only find in your country?

The Mari lwyd. A skeleton horse that demands to enter your house to eat your food and drink your beer. A great doorway poetry battle takes place before you agree to let him in.

Then there is Plygain on Christmas eve, you make late night toffee then go to church from 3am to 6am to sing carols. It used to be only men allowed but women go these days.

Up until a few generations ago we also used to beat the shit out of each other with holly branches but for some reason that died out.

What's a pavlova?

[petitedollbabee]

It’s a desert. Feel free to google it ☺️

[AmeerX]

I did and wow it looks super delicious 🤤. I like Russian deserts :). Have you tried Babka Cake?

[petitedollbabee]

It is really good! It’s not a Russian desert, it’s only named after a Russian person. Confusing, I know lol. I haven’t tried Babka Cake before but it looks really good!

[AmeerX]

Oh yeah:), I wonder if you like making desserts?

[petitedollbabee]

Haha sadly no, cooking and baking has never been a good skill of mine 😅 do you enjoy making deserts?

[AmeerX]

😅 no, cooking is not my best skill. I enjoy eating deserts and exotic food 🤤. I am into farming and grow food now

WOW
is Christmas even related to Christianity?

[AmeerX]

It's actually near to what you said. Christ real birthday is not on 25th December but the Roman Emperors when it became Christianized used that to celebrate his birthday and make it so since days start to go bigger from that date
