Christmas 2007

Over the Christmas holidays Daniela and I visited her family in the Czech Republic. There are a number of traditions and customs. The main dish for Christmas dinner is carp, which can be purchased anywhere in the streets of Prague. Here's a pic from a market that is selling carp. The carp's price is calculated from the weight of the fish. Then you have the option to take it home live or dead.
















We spent some time at the Christmas market in Old Town Square in Prague. There's lots of tasty treats such as hot wafers, nuts, crepes; and drinks to keep you warm such as milled wine and mead.
















This is a picture of myself, Daniela, her sister Stephanie, her father Stanley, and mother May. After dinner on Christmas there are a few traditions. The one you see here is where we slice the apple in half to see who will have the greatest amount of good luck in the new year, which is determined by the person who has the apple with the largest star after cutting.
