Very popular in the Czech Republic are Christmas. We celebrate Christmas on the 24th December in honour of the birth of Jesus Christ. We start to prepare for four weeks before Christmas Eve. This period of the time is called Advent. Children have a special calendar called a Christmas Calendar. It is usually made out of paper and it has twenty four windows. Every day the children open one of them to find a picture and piece of chocolate. During the time of Advent women are very busy cleaning the house, cooking and baking Christmas cookies and cakes. Christmas tree is a traditional symbol."
