Family workshop: Latvian Christmas Decorations

What are the similarities between Latvian and Icelandic Christmas decorations? We will make beautiful decorations together and enjoy cookies and music.

The Latvian School in Reykjavik in co-operation with the Nordic house invite families to take part in traditional Latvian Christmas decoration workshop on 3. advent Sunday, 17th of December, 1-3 pm. Typical materials for traditional decorations are all natural. Guests are offered to make candles out of beeswax and indoor decorations called PUZURS. Puzuri are used to decorate ceiling and windows and symbolize the universe. Playing games with song and dance will be part of the event as well as a traditional Latvian Christmas dish – grey peas with bacon.

Free entrance and everyone is welcome!
