- Preparation for Christmas includes a lot
of activities in housework – cleaning of
the house , baking biscuits , buying
presents and decorating the Christmas
trees .
- One of main parts on Christmas Eve is
special Czech Christmas dinner for the
whole family (parents , children ,
eventually grandparents) before meeting
around the Christmas tree .
The national Czech Christmas
dinner is fried fish or
schnitzel, potatoe salad,
and fish soup.

We usually spend this day at home, children
play with new toys, families watch fairy tales,
eat cookies and enjoy this time.
We visit grandparents and our friends,
