Now I love Christmas ("presents? Why thankyou!"), but I saw adverts for sorting out your Christmas shopping in AUGUST.
CHRISTMAS ADS IN SUMMER. GAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

Nothing says Christmas like a snowy city with cheerful Christmas music playing.

To answer you, no sir, I come form the humble commonwealth of Kentucky. Why the Czech Republic though? Prague (Praha) is nice place, should go if you can.

I ask because they celebrate Christmas day on 24th Dec... Not sure why... And they have carp instead of turkey...weird huh?
You stated that Christmas begins and ends on the 24th so I thought you might have been Ceska.
Nevermind, you must have KFC instead of turkey no? Haw haw haw..../silliness
Why do I get excited at the prospect of other peoples christmas's and not mine? Anyhoo, you never know, I believe Poland do it too so there's a good chance that tradition Comes from Europe...CK76 said:My family always celebrates on 24th, 25th is non event, goes back generations, maybe some ancestors in there are from that part of the world, wouldn't surprise me, half of Europe could claim me (not that they would). We eat friendship bread as custom, turkey is more Thanksgiving thing.
I think you just broke mah interwebz!...I have never had KFC, I have had homemade fried chicken in Kentucky.
Hah, remind me of French friend when I said I do not eat McDonalds. I'm a bad American, explains much of the confusion.ravens_nest said:I think you just broke mah interwebz!...
