My Culture
"A Hungarian Christmas""
by Sam H (9)

Sam H is 9 years old and says: My culture and traditions I interviewed my Mum, Andrea about things in our culture that she loved. She told me about Christmasse in hungary when she was 3. We always celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve because my Dad came from Hungary. My brother and I had to go to my Dads on the day. If I cried Dad told me the Angels would not come. Every evening I came back home Christmas had arrived. My earliest wish was to have a Dolphin. I had to settle with a stuffed teddy bear called Boo Boo. He has bells in both ears and I still have him today. We used to spend Christmas Eve with our friends and open our Christmas presents. We used to find a stocking at the end of our bed. We used to always have a satsuma in our stocking. For breakfast we had prunes and we used to play tinker tailor soldier sailor.
