Finnish Christmas Traditions:Christmas Eve- Go to the cemetery and put lit candles on the graves of family members and also on the graves of strangers if some of your dead family members are buried far away. Eat light dinner. Many snacks. Evening mass.
Christmas Day- Go to early morning mass (7am here!) and clean the house. FUN. Big dinner: carrot mash up, a whole pig, potatoes, pickled fish, ricey moist bread stuff, berry cheesecake, creamy chopped mushroom pudding, and other things that remain mysterious to me.
Christmas Day 2- I don't know about this, but people with families don't really want to hang out because it is a family day.
