Christmas is a
celebration
that is related
to the birth of
Jesus Christ.
Christians
believe that
Jesus was born
on the 25th of
December.
The most popular customs are for example decorating a Christmas
tree, singing Christmas carols, giving presents to our relatives and
close friends or preparing a Christmas dinner. In the Czech Republic,
the most popular Christmas dishes are fried carp, fish soup, potato
salad and various types of traditinoal Christmas sweets.

In the Czech Republic, we place Christmas presents under the
Christmas tree and unwrap them after Christmas dinner. Children
believe that the presents are brought to them by Baby Jesus.
American and British traditions are very different. Instead of Baby
Jesus as in the Czech tradition, presents are believed to be brought
by Santa Claus or Father Christmas, who enters the house via the
chimney. Children hang up Christmas stockings or socks on the
fireplace or on their bed and hope that they will be filled with
presents in the morning.
Most people start celebrating Christmas on the evening of
Christmas Eve (24th December).
