I'll try to take some video of the koledari and send you the link.Shuggie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631714978399221637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-89261434280029106592010-12-22T03:42:31.626-05:002010-12-22T03:42:31.626-05:00@Aron, the post says: 'light actual candles in...@Aron, the post says: 'light actual candles in desiccating fir trees'<br /><br />So I am not arguing candles in general, I am all up for those but I can categorically say that I do not know of anyone who still puts a lit candle on a Christmas tree! <br /><br />If I have misunderstood the context I apologise. <br /><br />I do not eat carp, nor my husband. Nor my brother in law or sister in law. And quite few of my friends. That's why i said it is a tradition that isn't adhered to as strictly as it was about 10-15 years ago. <br /><br />Christmas traditions are always an interesting talking point... :)MuciFocihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01999848372900287342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-27241826609422655892010-12-21T14:43:53.721-05:002010-12-21T14:43:53.721-05:00@MuciFoci
Believe me, this is definitely not outda...@MuciFoci<br />Believe me, this is definitely <i>not outdated</i>. I don't know anyone who <i>doesn't</i> light candles, eat carp, shut themselves in, etc. Of course, you probably know people very different from my circle of friends, but still - I believe the middle class hasn't changed much. At least the middle class I know of and see every day...aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070341420592928543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-29748463766359270582010-12-21T12:28:46.480-05:002010-12-21T12:28:46.480-05:00Oh, Bob, I'm Hungarian... but carp?

We've just killed the pig to have pork for Christmas. Our presents here are delivered by The Angel. Jesus is a one day old baby, can't deliver presents. Not in Transylvania at least.egoissimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021358718724831033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21879466.post-46114999380169252152010-12-21T12:07:06.536-05:002010-12-21T12:07:06.536-05:00I only know one family who lit an actual candle on...I only know one family who lit an actual candle on a christmas tree and I am Hungarian. That family did this about 10 years ago. <br /><br />And whilst the carp is the traditional dish, families are more and more adventurous when it comes to Christmas dining... <br /><br />Sorry, but I felt your information was a little out-dated.MuciFocihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01999848372900287342noreply@blogger.com
