On the first and second Christmas Days, people did not have to fast anymore and so they ate meat together with different side dishes, such as barley, beans, peas and other pulses and cabbage. Throughout the Christmas period there was always been plenty of alcoholic drinks, such as wine and homemade schnapps offered to the guests.
