"Vesele Vanoce" is how they say "Merry Christmas" in Czech (although I know I am missing symbols above some letters). Christmas was warmer than we expected with no snow, Thank you Jesus, but still a little chilly. This was a good thing we had the cold so we could enjoy the hot wine they serve at the Christmas Markets! The picture above is the Market Square where the main Christmas Market was held and Christmas entertainment happened. They had many folk bands on the main stage and even held a non-denominational service on Christmas Eve here so that people of all religions could celebrate the peace and love of the season.
The people of Prague were very festive as they decorated much of the city, and did it very tastefully. I mention this because the fashion displayed by its inhabitants and Eastern European visitors was questionable at best :). They also celebrated more on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day there, in fact, the stores were open on Christmas Day more than the Eve. We had a great time exploring the city by day and visiting the pubs at night...Prague is a very fun city! I plan to blog more on the sights tomorrow and the nightlife later in the week, so stay tuned for more on this amazing city!
Auf Wiedersehen!
