In the city of Turku, a ceremony that announces the beginning of the Christmas peace period takes place at midday, and this period lasts for 20 days. People will eat rice porridge and plum fruit juice for breakfast on Christmas Eve. There is also a tradition to hide almonds in the porridge, and the finder of these will have a lucky year. Although Easter is celebrated more than Christmas in Greece, that isn't to say the festive holiday isn't important. On Christmas Eve, children go from house to house playing music and singing carols in return for treats.

Another tradition is to wrap a wooden cross in fresh basil and use it to sprinkle water around the house to keep away goblins called Killantzaroi.
