摘要：This paper is about Christmas Traditions celebrated in the city of Zadar in the area of Arbanasi and Puntamika. The work was created through the witness of some elderly Arbanasi and Puntamika informants who talked about their way of family pre- Christmas preparations, as well as about the way of celebrating the pre-Christmas holiday season, and Christmas itself. Describing the traditional customs practices, here the author gives an overview of the traditional heritage of Arbanasi and Puntamika, which is later set in contrastive and comparative relationship on the basis of which one can learn about the essential differences of Christmas Holidays, not only of Zadar area, but also within the family in the same area. From the study of traditional Christmas customs of Arbanasi and Puntamika some differences that are mostly of sociological nature can be noticed. The similarities in traditional customs of these two parts of the city of Zadar are conditioned by the common cultural and Christian heritage of Dalmatia, as well as of the inhabitants of these two urban areas.
