We woke up at 3am and our bus left at 4.30am to Helsinki-Vantaa airport. We arrive to Hamburg airport at nine o'clock in local time. Then we went to Lybeck by subway. Our exchange families came to Lybeck railway station to pick up us and then we went to homes. I slept few hours and watched some movies.
Shrovetide
I like a lot of shrovetide because we go to downhill skiing, cross-country skiing or sliding. Then we make pea soup and shrove buns. The point of this celebration is that we spend nice winter day together.
Our Christmas traditions
On Chrismas my family have our own traditions. First in the morning we go to morning sauna and after that we eat our homemade rice porridge for the breakfast. Then we watch from the tv the Declaration of Christmas Thrift and start dressing up. At 4pm we go to Christmas church and to cemetery. In the evening the cemetery is so beautiful because all the candles. After that we eat our homemade Christmas foods which are rosolli, ham, fish, salads, potato casserole, carrot casserole, swede casserole, sweet potato casserole. I love christmas foods A lot. Then we share our gifts and open it. After all this we just relax and have fun.
