Adults stay up late drinking coffee, making food, decorating and organizing so that when children wake up early the next day, the house is clean and smells good.
Kids wake up before dawn, open their calendars and go downstairs to watch telly.
For breakfast we eat rice porridge with cinnamon, sugar, and cold milk. The animals also have to have their Christmas, so kids give special treats to their pets. We take a wheat bunch outside to the little birds. In the midst of all the cooking, adults sip glogg with raisins and nuts. Also satsumas are essential in my family.
