When talking about the habits of both countries we soon found out that
there are a lot of similarities in both.
Easter
Due to the fact that Aimée and Sarah both spent Easter in Finland an Easter brunch could not be missed and therefore Sarah made some Easter bunnies which she would also make at home. Those bunnies are made out of a sweet dough and shaped to little bunnies being eaten with jam and butter when they come out of the oven.
The breakfast was huge and included jam, butter, ham, mushrooms, eggs, bread, scones, Easter bunnies, tea, juice and ‘Birchermüesli’. Birchermüesli is always part of a typical Austrian breakfast and is made out of yoghurt, oats and fruits.
Easter in Austria is not only combined with eating breakfast but also searching for painted Easter eggs and an Easter basket with the famous chocolate Easter eggs and bunnies. Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are days dedicated to family and friends.

Christmas
Sarah’s family celebrates Christmas on the 24th of December. On this day the Christmas tree gets decorated and a proper dinner is cooked for the whole family in the evening before going to the midnight mass. After the mass all the relatives on her father’s side meet at her granny’s place.
The next day Sarah’s family visits other members of her family such as her granny on her mother’s side, her godmother and godfather. This visitation will go on for 3 days where they talk, eat, sing, sit and enjoy their time together.

Birthdays
Sarah will turn 22 on the 21st of July this year. Most of the times Sarah would celebrate together with her father and brother because they are both having birthday on the 19th of July. Sarah’s favourit birthday cake would therefore be a rhubarb tart but there could sometimes occur some difficulties finding rhubarbs during this time of the year. Nevertheless, Sarah likes baking and would make any other cake which she could share with family and friends who come to visit her at this date. Having birthday during summer is really nice because people can easily sit outside in the garden and have a nice coffee and cake break in the afternoon.
