Armenia

Make sure that during the Armenian New Year, which usually runs from January 1st to January 7th and sometimes even the 10th, it's something they make a really big deal out of and kind of and celebrate for a long time, always be holding a piece of bread or just something, just something in your hand because the fact is everybody there is going to try to stuff you with food and even if you tell them you're full they're just going to keep stuffing you. That's just how they show their love but as long as you have a piece of bread in your hand it looks like you're eating even if you're not because you're already super full so just something to keep in mind. As soon as you get full just hold a piece of bread in your hand they're gonna think you're still eating even if you stopped you know 20 minutes prior so but the Armenian New Year is something very very exciting very fun.

In Armenia, the holidays they celebrate are, with the exception of Christmas, like pretty much completely different from the ones we celebrate here. So, oh and Easter I should say, so you don't get your 4th of July or your Halloween, your Thanksgiving or Valentine's Day. What they do is from January 1st for about two weeks, although the bulk of it is in the first week, they have a New Year's celebration. And so the first few days everyone's off of work, transportation isn't even running in a lot of areas, and everyone is just, you know, living it up at home. There's lots of eating, lots of drinking. They all have a big, fancy table set up. They kind of leave the same food out on there for a few days. And so you want to be careful what you eat after, you know, January 3rd, January 4th. They also celebrate Christmas. They celebrate that on January 6th, but it's kind of overshadowed by the New Year holiday. It doesn't get quite as much as attention. And then when Easter time comes around, they like to make right, peel off with raisins and like crack eggs against each other, hard-boiled eggs. And whoever's cracks first loses.
