Christmas Eve Dec 24, 2023

Christmas Eve

There"s a certain magic in knowing that, around the world, shops are closing, streets are emptying, and friends and families are gathering to celebrate Christmas Eve. We each have our own traditions, from filling stockings to hosting parties and playing festive music. Today"s twilight homepage shows the gleaming lights and Christmas trees of Town Hall Square in Tartu, Estonia"s second-largest city. Tartu"s Christmas fair has a merry atmosphere, featuring sleigh rides, fire kettles, and wooden animal carousels, while serving up smoked meats, hot drinks, and gingerbread. Whether you"re partying or cozying up with a cup of hot cocoa, embrace the Christmas spirit on this peaceful night—and don"t forget the milk and cookies!
