Abstract

The increase of folk piety, the question of both the national character of
Christmas rituals and contemporary controversies on individual
Christmas customs - the re-naming of the Christmas gift-giver, shooting
on Christmas and New Year's Eve - are interpreted as features of
mentality, but also as indicators of political processes in contemporary
post-socialist transition in the Croatian fashion. The component of
power relations is introduced into the ethnological discourse on
Christmas.
