Families try to gather in the homes of their grandparents on time and sit around the yalda table, a table of special edible..
They eat fruits such as watermelon and pomegranate. also cotton candy, nut and boiled beetroot are eaten at that night. Grandparents tell their grandchildren some interesting stories. conversation, telling stories and jokes, reading poems out loud such as "Hafez book" is something they do.

In my city #Tabriz, a big and populous city of Iran, parents cook and make some favorite foods such as "kofte tabrizi" and sweets, nuts, gifts, and beautiful baskets of fruits to their daughter and her husband.
It is a very great night that all the families enjoy it.
