We decorate Christmas trees and bake sweets before Christmas dinner on December 24th. The table should have an even number of guests to avoid bad luck, and no one leaves before dinner is finished except the host. After dinner, traditions include cutting apples in half to see if the core forms a star for a happy new year, pouring melted lead into water to see one's destiny, and floating walnut shell boats with candles inside to predict a long, healthy life.
