The reason why we celebrate Kūčių vakarienę (christmas eve supper) after sunset is because in Lithuania in winter is getting dark very early (now is 5pm and it's already dark).

My heartfelt congratulations to Laura Asadauskaitė for her excellent performance in gaining a well deserved gold medal in the Women's modern pentathlon, leaving the British Samantha Murray with a commendable silver.
