How do you celebrate an Armenian Christmas

[rickhd]

How do they celebrate Christmas in Armenian. What is a traditional Armenian Christmas?

I guess it is rather fitting or symbolic for Armenians that the traditional christmas dinner in North America is a meal where we eat 'Turkeys'.

HAHAHA..funny.

In my family, we celebrate it on Jan. 5, which is Christmas Eve for us. Usually, our family gets together and we eat fish (i'm allergic)..... Oh and also, my mother makes kuku (eggs and herbs cooked in a skillet), which I can't eat either, cause I'm allergic to eggs as well. So, what do I eat? DAMNIT! Anyway...we don't eat red meat and we drink red wine, with a piece of holy bread (nshkhark) in it, which we get at church.


Then, we bust out the tequila and make some bbq. It always ends up this way .....

Ya, we have dinner with our family, that's about it, if we make it to church on the 6th, barring work, we have this soup I don't know what it's called.

Usually just a nice family dinner on the 6th, after going to church. I think fish is the traditional meal.

New Year's is where the real party is for us, with Santa, the dancing, the drinking, etc..

ahhh now that i've stopped laffin, violette jan, since you're allergic to eggs i'm guessing you've never had a flu shot, and you should NOT get one either --anyone who has egg allergies should not get it--

Go to church, then have a family dinner. Through out the day, we call all of our relatives wishing them happiness, and well, you know. That's pretty much it. :-)
For New Years, it is very LOUD. I love it.
