Christmas in Slovenia

  • Christmas card with traditional local motifs:

    In the past, children were in charge for the decorations. They usually collected chestnuts and wallnuts and wrapped them up in tin foil. They also cut out different cardboard shapes-especiall hearts and stars. As there were no Christmas tree balls, they decorated the tree with little candles. They pinned the candles on the tree with special candle clips.
