Christmas around the world: Lebanon

by Zara Ghossein (2º B)

In Lebanon people plant wheat grains in cotton wool fifteen days before Chistmas. They water the seeds every day and they use the shoots to decorate tables or to sorround the manger in nativity scenes.
On Christmas Eve, they put up a Christmas tree and the whole family gathers for dinner. They eat the typical Lebanese meal: tabuli, salad, chips, kibby, chicken, turkey or sheep ( stuffed with rice, raisins and pine nuts). Our typical drink is Arak . We also have crushed boiled wheat with lots of sugar.
Christmas Day is a day for family. When we wake up, children open their presents they find under the Christmas tree and the families visit their families and they eat and drink all day along.
