Where are you going to spend Christmas holidays?
Who are you going to visit?
Are you going to decorate the Christmas tree (maybe you have it already in your living room or in your yard?)
Are you going to make twelve dishes for your Christmas Eve dinner?
Are you going to attend Christmas service at the church of Pasvalys?

Jurate's plans for Christmas

This year Christmas holiday is going to take four days - from Saturday to Tuesday. I think it isn't going to snow at Christmas, but it is going to be without rain, it is going to stay dry and clear, without clouds.
Soon my mother is going to decorate big spruce branches on our balcony. She is going to bring the branches from the town square. It is a tradition in our town to give away (padalinti dykai) spruce branches to local people before Christmas. I think this year the give-away is going to happen on the 20th of December.
I'm not going to attend the Christmas service. I 'm not going to make lots of dishes at home. But I am going to fast on the day before Christmas .I'm not going to eat meat nor milk products on Christmas Eve. On Christmas day I am going to eat my daily meals. It is going to be simple food which doesn't take a lot of time to make.
I am going to have a very quiet and lazy time at home. I am going to put my mobile phone in my cupboard and I am going to forget about the alarm clock for all these days. I am going to watch lots of British TV. I am going to cycle to my garden outside the town and I am going to take a walk to the riverside nearby.
