HOME DUTIES AND FAMILY TRADITIONS

Every family has a lot of work to do in the house. It takes a lot of time to do the rooms, to cook meals and to wash up. That’s why we use different devices: a microwave oven to cook meat and vegetables, a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt from carpets and floors, a washing machine to wash clothes and other things.

Besides different household chores every family has its traditions. They concern the celebration of holidays. There are many holidays that are honoured and widely celebrated in the Ukrainian families.

First of all, it is New Year’s Day. It is a favourite holiday of many families. All the members of the family usually get together, have a big dinner with a wide selection of tasty food and drinks.

Another great holiday is Christmas celebrated on the 7th of January. It is a custom to cook twelve dishes for supper on Christmas Eve: kutia, varenyky, salted fish and others. Most of the dishes are national and special.

Easter is the time of giving and receiving presents which traditionally took the form of an Easter egg. The Easter egg and special Easter cake are the most popular emblems of this religious holiday. Children like this holiday very much.
