Here's a picture of the girls decorating their own Christmas tree upstairs in our house. They decided to pick out their own tree and put some of their decorations on it. Guess what color they decided to use as their main color? Purple!! Purple? For Christmas?? Oh well, to each her own. Maybe one could argue that purple is the color of royalty and we are celebrating the birthday of the King!
Most Hungarians don't put up their Christmas tree until Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is a huge family day where they gather for a big meal and decorate the tree together. So the American custom of putting up a tree early in December is very different to this culture. Let us know some of your Christmas traditions. We would love to know how your family celebrates the birth of Jesus.
