Christmas traditions
With marriage, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law come new traditions. There are also traditions from other countries, like the HEIROL family of entrepreneurs, where Cristina comes from Italy and Rolf from Sweden on his mother's side.
In Italy, Christmas table specialities include an antipasto menu of fish delicacies. The main course on Christmas Eve is also often just fish and vegetables, while on Christmas Day it's meat.
And while Italy is full of wonderful desserts and dessert recipes, a more modest dessert is enjoyed on Christmas Eve, consisting mainly of nuts, almonds and dried fruit. The Christmas Day feast is then back to delicious cakes such as panettone and pandoro.
