So in the winter you are like this @LucyArn 😛 😛

Questions:

1️⃣ Do people eat special food in the winter in your country?

MAny, but maybe more for Christmas Eve especially? The christmas turkey,; yule log... food you can't eat everyday as well.
For winter more generally, all the meals that destroy your diet are consumed; it might be tartiflette, raclette, fondue, or generally"plats en sauce" like boeuf bouguignon or blanquette de veau, which helps to warm your body.
It's also season for soups.

2️⃣ Can you skate on ice? And if not: do you want to learn it?

I did 3 or 4 times, long ago, so let's say I can't really skate

3️⃣ Did you ever go on wintersport? And if yes what do you like the most abt it?

I only played with a sledge and hiked with snowshoes. I love both

4️⃣ Do you have a Christmas tree in the winter and if yes from when? And if no: do you have smt else for winter like small lights outside?

Not these years, but hopefully in the next years, yes. I think from begining of december to epiphany is the good time for that

6️⃣ Is there a tradition in your country for New Year like giving gifts on 1 January to friends, meeting family or that you swim in the cold sea like this: https://denhaag.com/en/calendar/unox-new-years-dive ?

Maybe étrennes ? I guess it's less common now, but usually we have family (grandmothers) giving money around January the first

Merciiii @Lianshen!!! 🙏🙏 A lot of French things that you write i have no idea what they are!!! Like étrennes and the dishes tartiflette, raclette and the other ones except fondue. Bc that is with liquid cheese right and SUPER heavy. I dont really eat fondue but in Frane we had other dishes that were really nice. And i liked the crepes with very mini scoop vanilla ice cream (BUTTT NOTTTT other tastes bc i think vanilla is better with a crepes).

When the 4 seasons country are winter, in Indonesia we are experiencing the rainy season, so the weather here is colder. warm food or snack is our favorite, like foods that has broth like soup, bakso (meatballs soup), bakmie (chinese noodle) , or steam food/snacks (like dimsum, choipan, hainan chicken, pao dimsum, etc)

i can't, but i'd like to learn if i have spare time haha

3️⃣ Did you ever go on wintersport? And if yes what do you like the most abt it?

no, i rather stay at home or playing with the snow.

4️⃣ Do you have a Christmas tree in the winter and if yes from when? And if no: do you have smt else for winter like small lights outside?

ofcourse, eventhought 87% people in Indonesia are moslem, but when December, we decorate every store, mall, spots with winter vibes, even some of malls have giant Christmas tree. it's like.. Christmas decorations look so pretty in our eyes. that's why i love winter! winter is one of my personal color too haha

5️⃣ Do you celebrate New Year's Eve with family or friends? And do you have special pastries or snacks in the evening or drinks for the New Year?
