Christmas Holidays in Slovenia: Habits, Customs, and Events- Ljudevita Pivka Ptuj, Slovenia

Christmas is a Time for Family

Sveti večer: Christmas Eve

Christmas is  the special time of the year when the whole family gathers together.  In general, Slovenians tend to stay at home on the Christmas Eve. The Christmas tree will receive its first decoration if the family has not added the decor just yet.

                                      
  Like most European countries, most families and friends celebrate the 24th together with a special meal. Depending on the family, they will have some mulled wine as the beverage of choice. For the dishes, several types of meat and pastries will be available.

Roast meats like turkey is a staple food, including pastries like POTICA AND CHRISTMAS FRUIT BREAD OR BOŽIČNI KRUH. Božični kruh comes from the stollen or the Weihnachtsstollen from German traditions.

During this time, families will have several activities, depending on how modern they are. Olden families usually attend a midnight mass and then will sleep off after the event.


They usually visit their family and friends during the day.  They would also bring each other presents and enjoy the special holiday delights.












A modern tradition has also evolved.  Nowadays, Slovenians tend to go for a walk around nature on the Christmas day.  It’s great to be free from the technological burdens of the daily life for at least a day.

The period around Christmas is a time for us to reflect on the past year and to be surrounded with people we love.  It is also the time to leave everything bad and negative behind, and to focus on a new start.
