In Lithuania there is an Advent period, which starts from the fourth Sunday before Christmas Eve and lasts until this day. In the Christmas Eve, lithuanians with their family members sits together and eats supper. Before supper, everyone have to stand up and pray. When they finish, they share a scone and eat it. Then they can eat their supper. According to traditions, there have to be 12 meals on the table. There can’t be any meat or chocolate. Under the tablecloth, lithuanians put some hay.

After lithuanians finish their supper, then it’s time for spells. There are a lot of traditional spells about future life, next years, etc. After spells, some lithuanians put presents under the Christmas tree in the evening, but some of them put presents, when everyone are asleep. In the Christmas morning, children go to see, what they got. After that, all family members eat their full breakfast and then go to church.
