Advent in Zagreb #31 (Get some rest)

Sit down, relax...
I don't know about you, but the custom, or tradition, in my country is to stay at home with closest family for Xmas eve, eat some fish, go to mass at midnight, or not. Then on Christmas we go to our families for dinner or coffee and cookies or to just greet them- or they come to us. Then on the day after xmas-which is today we continue too visit the rest of our families and friends or they come to us.... So it is all about eating and drinking and more eating. Yesterday we were at my moms for dinner together with my brothers family, today we were at friends place for coffee, then went for dinner at my sister in law (it will be my turn next year) Then we had some guests at our place, and they just left few mins ago. I am so full, I am not eating anything for the next week... All I want is to sit down on those lovely chairs there and watch people go by.... I just heard from a friend that the city is full of people- one way to burn some calories...
But I am not complaining. We are actually happy to live close to our families, and we don't have to travel to get to them...
Merry xmass one more time.
Take a break and regroup for NY
Looks like it's all over but the shouting, as they say. Glad you had a nice Christmas. It's wonderful when you have family and friends to share the celebrations with.

A very nice custom indeed. We spend Christmas Eve with our children and grandchildren so it is always a good time of the year.
