Merry Christmas guys!
Today is the 3rd day of our JFB Christmas celebration and today we are celebrating Božić – Christmas in Serbia!
Serbia has many different Christmas traditions (the Wikipedia page is fascinating!), but one of the most interesting happens two Sunday’s before Christmas. On this day, children tie up their mothers and refuse to release them until they pay a random – in the form of Christmas presents of course! This tradition is called Materice. They repeat this with their fathers a week later, which is called Oci
Our first gift to you today is our (now) traditional giveaway! Today we have a copy of THE HIDDEN PEOPLE by Alison Littlewood for you lucky folks! To win, all you have to do is log in to Facebook or Twitter, ensure you’re following us/you like our page and then share or retweet the post with the link to this blog. You can find them here on Twitter and here on Facebook. Giveaway ends tomorrow (13th December) at 12pm.
Our second gift to you is a wonderful piece, written by Alison Littlewood herself, on the Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to creeping out my family this year!
Enjoy!
