• Christmas is a time of celebration in this country. However, Easter is the greater feasting holiday.
• The national spirit is made from grain, with cheaper versions being produced from potatoes or beetroot. The name translated means "little water".
• A honey and spiced bread known as Prianiki could also form part of this Christmas dinner.
