Thank you Irapuato! That's what it looks like over here on the 24th. Then on the 25th at 7a.m. is the Christmass Mass and the 25th is a very quiet and "holy" day. You stay at home, do not call your friends and overall it's a very still and peaceful day. In my family, it's an old tradition, to read tha Christmas Gospel on the 24th, at the dinnertable beforee Christmas Dinner. I know it's a tradition in many famillies. The father reads tha Gospel, then the mother lights up all the candles, everybody wihes each other merry and blessed Christmas and then we sit down to dinner. Some people go to the night Mass at 23p.m. on the 24th, but most of the people go on the 25, which is the traditional time for Christmas mass.
Thank you Irapuato, and merry and blessed Christmas to all of you! Love,TES from Finland!
P.S. We have TONS of snow here, we're simply drowning in snow! Would somebody like yo have some, I'd happily send some kubic-meters from our front yard!
