This Christmas, we enjoyed some fun Czech traditions...
(1) We loved shopping at the Christmas markets on the squares!
(2) Mikulas comes on the evening of December 5 to bring gifts to good children. Laini enjoyed singing to this Mikulas in exchange for a piece of candy. Last year she sang an American song, but this year she sang in czech -Kocka Leze Diru.
(3) Families float candles (made in walnut shells) in water and determine their next year's luck by whether or not their candle floats or sinks. We just thought they looked beautiful on our Christmas table.
(4) Cukrovi (Christmas cookies) are very important!!!
(5) And of course-you must have a live tree!! It is funny to me to carry a tree through the streets of Prague and then up an elevator.
