At Christmas we usually think of traditions such as decorating the tree together, unpacking presents or dinner with family. But do EUR students and employees have less usual traditions as well?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe usually make a gingerbread house in our home,\u201d says Psychology student Adriana. \u201cLast year my stepmom made too much icing. Given the amount of alcohol we already consumed, we ended up putting the icing on each other\u2019s faces.\u201dAnd that wasn\u2019t the worst of it. \u201cI have about three hundred photos on my phone of us licking the icing off of each other\u2019s face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Student Evelijn also has her own family tradition. \u201cEvery year we watch an old Christmas film, Scrooge, with the whole family,\u201d she says. \u201cI have watched the film eighteen times and I know it by heart. But it\u2019s still fun to do.\u201d Tutor Reinier Veldman of ESSB, on the other hand, has a less pleasant tradition. \u201cWhat we always do during the Christmas dinner is roasting each other,\u201d he says. \u201cWe express all of our frustrations of the past year. But after that it\u2019s all good again.\u201d What does his family say about him? \u201cWell, I\u2019m stubborn, don\u2019t listen well and crave for attention. Things like that,\u201d he laughs.<\/p>\n
