In my country Iran, we also celebrate longest night of the year that is called Yalda night. Yalda (20th of December) is one of traditional events in Iran which marks as longest and darkest night of the year. In this special night, family members and friends gather together for dinner and it lasts until midnight. During the night we celebrate with tasty traditional meals, nuts and fruits such as : pistachio, almond, walnuts, dries apricots, prunes, pomegranates, watermelon and figs.
