We have a kind of "hybrid" Christmas - me being a foreigner. Traditionally the big celebration is on the 24th - special meal, usually of duck with apples and prunes, brown and white potatoes, red cabbage and what have you and a dessert of cold rice pudding (better than it sounds!) - singing and dancing round the Christmas tree and gifts. The best meal though is a cold table - upteen small dishes, not all of them cold, that goes on for hours. Should happen on the 25th, but a lot of people have it on the 26th and/or 27th, so the 25th can be a bit of a quiet day, (except we still have Christmas stockings - when else could Santa deliver them?).
