Strange traditions

1. One of the strange habits for foreigners is to come to visit with a gift (even without a reason).
   
   
   
   For us, other behavior just seems impolite. But our foreign comrades are very pleasantly surprised by this manifestation of attention.
   
   
2. We are used to throwing a feast on the whole world for absolutely any reason. Even in honor of a minor event, our hostess manages to arrange a magnificent feast, after which food usually remains for another week ahead.
   
   
   
   Foreigners, for the most part, are very economical. Therefore, they allow themselves to celebrate holidays with such a scale only in special cases.
   
   
3. Another habit of ours (incomprehensible to foreigners) is a long stay at the dinner table. It is quite normal for us, meeting with friends, to delay the meal until the evening, diluting it with fascinating stories.
   
   
   
   
   
   But abroad it is customary to be at the table just enough to have time to absorb all the food from the table.
   
   
4. As for the number of our folk signs and superstitions, sometimes we are surprised by it.
   
   
   
   Foreigners are impressed not so much by their presence as by our habit of finding hidden signs and symbols in almost everything.
   
   
5. For our foreign friends, trips to the country are mainly a type of holiday. If it does not concern their own business, then foreigners will not work outside the city, tirelessly.
   
   
   
   That is why our forced trips to the cottage and exhausting work in the garden cause them a lot of questions.
   
   
6. Another tradition unacceptable for foreigners is the accommodation of adult children with parents.
   
   
   
   This situation is considered quite acceptable.
   
   
7. As for the main holiday abroad, this is Christmas.
   
   
   
   But we have more widely accepted to celebrate the New Year. Which also surprises foreigners.
