Another tradition had Ukrainian families throw portions of wheat onto the ceiling during Christmas Eve celebrations.

The amount of wheat that stuck to the ceiling would correspond to the fortune the family would have in the new year.

Some Ukrainian families leave a plate of kutia and a lit candle on a windowsill on Christmas Eve in honor of their ancestors.
