Anki fuq il-Panettone se niggieldu! Giezumaria! Maltese tradition :imbuljuta, qaghaq tal-ghasel, xi lasanja u fuq kollox ghaqda shiha bejnietna lkoll u nkomplu nzommu t-tradizzjonijiet kattolici li b'xorti tajba ghadhom jinhassu minkejja kollox.

Well I say the the first answer mince pies as the Italian panettone should be last,
However money spent its questionable as you ave to hv the cash to spend...
Christmas is religious and we celibrate in a homly and family manor

Well traditions change, new ones can be adopted so I have no qualm with including the panettone within Maltese traditions.

Panettone is Italian and mince pies are English! What traditions are you talking about?

What about the Maltese pudding and the chestnut based imbuljuta?! is it because panettone and mince pies can be bought ready made from shops thus saving the hassle of baking?

Is allowing public markets to open for business on Christmas Day also one of our Christmas traditions? Why is Christmas Day not included amongst the days(only TWO in fact are included -these being Good Friday and Santa Marija only) in which no retail shops may open nor business be conducted -also introdcued by the government ostensibly "to uphold and respect Maltese Tradition?"
