The most important day at Czech Christmas is 24th December!
We decorate Xmas tree (plastic or real - spruce or fire) in the morning.
Before Christmas we buy presents for our family and friends.We also send Xmas cards.

At about 6pm we have big Xmas dinner.
We usually eat fish soup, potatoe salad and fried carp (it´s a kind of fish - living in czech ponds)
or schnitzel.

After dinner we open our Christmas presents and we sometimes sing Xmas carols :-)
We also like eating special Xmas cookies

Our flats,houses,streets and shops are decorated with Xmas decorations.
