Dunadan 1,103 Posted December 26, 2019 #641 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Here tradition for Christmas mass is that they prepare a big table where at the end of the celebration they serve everyone hot chocolate with pandoro, panettone, Christmas biscuits, etc. Sadly I was forced many times to eat all that for free only to keep up appearances heywoodu, OlympicIRL and Agger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the atmosphere is better at the big day, there's another reason for you. Second, Christmas is (in my opinion) a time of traditions. If somebody doesn't feel like going, noone will say anything.

That last part is the problem in some families though, where weirdly it's seen as a bad thing if you decide not to go If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Vojthas 947 Posted December 31, 2019 #650 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I don't know if he's in his home country, but right now he's probably the first Olympian to celebrate coming of the Olympic year 2020. Happy New Year, Pita! The last one will probably be... @Olympian1010 (for sure the last Totallympian). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
