Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to reshape souls and roots and skies,
A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun,
Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs
Show need of such a time for love and fun.
A time to reshape souls and roots and skies,
A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun,
Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs
Show need of such a time for love and fun.
For children first, whose pain is never done,
Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies,
It's time to give your heart to every one,
Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies,
It's time to give your heart to every one,
That not one angel fall, to hatred won
For lack of ears to listen to her cries,
Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,
For lack of ears to listen to her cries,
Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,
Or friends to care what happens on the run
To adult life, where joy or sadness lies.
It's time to give your heart to everyone,
To adult life, where joy or sadness lies.
It's time to give your heart to everyone,
For God loves all, and turns His back on none,
Good or twisted, ignorant or wise.
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to give your heart to everyone.
Good or twisted, ignorant or wise.
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to give your heart to everyone.
Faith makes all things possible,
Hope makes all things work,
Love makes all things beautiful.
May you have all the three for this Christmas!
Merry Christmas!

Here are just a few of the traditional Christmas foods enjoyed in the Czech Republic.
Veselé Vánoce! (Merry Christmas!)
Vanocka
This sweet bread is served around Christmas as either a side dish, a
dessert, or for Christmas breakfast. It is made with yeast, eggs, flour,
butter, milk. The dough also contains raisins and almonds, and is
braided like challah. It has a reputation for being difficult to
prepare, so in many households, superstitions and special customs are
attached to the baking process. At one time in history, vánocka could
only be made by a baker who was a guild craftsman.
Fried Carp
The main course served for Christmas dinner in the Czech Republic is
fried carp. One week before Christmas, fisherman with their large tanks
packed full of carp appear on the streets. Many people buy their carps
live and keep them alive until Christmas Eve to be killed and cooked.
The custom started in the 16 century when monasteries in southern
Bohemia began constructing special fishponds for raising carp during the
40-day Lenten period leading to Easter.
Potato Salad
Potato salad is often accompanied with fried carp which is served for
Christmas dinner. There are many versions of this dish but the main
ingredients include potatoes, peas, onions, carrots, parsley, celery,
pickled gherkins, eggs and mayonnaise.
Moravian Christmas Cookies
Moravian Christmas cookies originated in Moravia, a historic region
of the East Czech Republic. These spicy ginger-molasses cookies are
often decorated with sugar icing and cut into various shapes to be eaten
and hung on Christmas trees.
Vanilla Crescent Rolls
Vanilla crescent rolls or vanilkove rohlicky are a common treat
throughout Central and Eastern Europe. In the Czech Republic, these
cookies and many other desserts are baked for Christmas. The cookies are
usually made with ground almonds or ground walnuts with vanilla sugar
sprinkled on top.
