1. Czech Christmas

2. Czech Christmas Traditions
Adéla, Aneta
 We have many, many original traditions. We cut apples,
pour lead, float little boats, throw shoes behind, … and
we have presents under the Christmas tree! 
 We will introduce two interesting Christmas traditions.
Don´t be sad, Christmas time is coming! 

3. Floating boats
 Adela's favourite tradition 
 You need:
Nutshells
Little candles (you must put candles into the nutshell)
Matches or a lighter
A bucket or a bowl
 Light the candles and put them into the nutshells.
 Let the little boats float on water. If your boat joins another
one you will be with this person next year.

4. Slicing apples
 Aneta's favourite tradition.
 You need:
a knife
some apples
… and a good Christmas mood ;)
 Cut the apples into halves .
 If you have a star in the middle, you will be healthy next
year, but if you have a cross, you will have bad luck and you
will be sick.

5. Gold piggy
 We have a superstition about a Gold piggy.
 If you don‘t eat all day before Christmas dinner, you
can see a Gold piggy. Or if you don‘t only eat meat, it
is a better posibility. But we think that it isn‘t true. 
 Little kids believe in that.

tree.

Czech
 1.Tichá noc, svatá noc,
jala lid v blahý klid.
Dvé jen srdcí tu v Betlémě bdí,
hvězdy při svitu u jeslí dlí,
v nichž malé děťátko spí,
v nichž malé děťátko spí.
2.Tichá noc, svatá noc!
Co anděl vyprávěl,
přišel s jasností v pastýřův stan,
zní již z výsosti, z všech země
stran:
"Vám je dnes spasitel dán;
přišel Kristus Pán!„

15. Jingle bells (Rolničky)
English
 Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on Bobs tail ring
Making spirits bright

A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells
Jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In One-horse open sleigh
Hey!

Czech
 Rolničky, rolničky, kdo pak
vám dal hlas? Kašpárek
maličký nebo děda Mráz?
Rolničky, rolničky,co to zvoní
v nich?
Maminčiny písničky Vánoce a
sníh.
Sláva už je sníh, jedem na
saních,
kluci křičí, zvonek zní, jenom
táta ztich.
Kouká na syna, uši napíná,
co to slyší v rolničkách? Na
co vzpomíná?
