At Christmas time, Khrystyna Nikolaychuk always visits her grandmother in the small village of Kovalevka in the Carpathian Mountains. Khrystyna used to spend all of her vacations there. Now, her entire family - who live in different parts of the world - come together on this day. 20 people sit down to a shared meal. "My babushka keeps the family together," she says. "She cooks twelve traditional dishes on this evening, all of which must be vegetarian, since it's still the Advent fasting period for us."
