Christmas in CR and in Prague
Christmas in CR and in Prague
♦Prague is very beautiful at Christmas. If it snows, everything in Prague is white or gray. So at Christmas Prague is white – gray city. =)
Like in every city shops are full because everybody is buying presents or food. At some places (near the shopping centres) you can find Christmas tree sellers.
In many squares, there are Christmas markets (there you can buy very beauty presents).
Two weeks ago on Old Town square (one of the oldest squares in the historical part of Prague) they lit up our main Christmas tree. It’s 27 metres tall and it’s from Vrchlabí (that’s town in the north of CR).
But Christmas tree is in the Wenceslav and the Peace (time) square too.
In CR we have many Christmas customs like baking Christmas biscuits, pouring lead and singing Christmas carols. But like people from other countries we like Christmas.
♦Our Christmas holidays usually start two days before Christmas Eve. We eat a lot of sweets and Christmas biscuits.We prepare some Christmas presents.In the morning we decorate Christmas tree.In the evening on 24th December we have Christmas dinner with our family. Many children watch TV. For dinner we have carp and potato salad. We start the dinner with fish soup. We open our presents after dinner. We listen to Christmas carols.
