 The most important part of each cristmas eve is the Christmas dinner (and the gift opening afterwards 😄).
For the dinner everyone eats carp(s) with potato salad. The soups and other meals vary between different families.

Like everywhere else we have gifts under the christmas tree.

Some Czech traditions are:

Lots of families don’t eat before the christmas dinner. To make the kids not eat people often tell them that they will see a golden pig if they do so.

Under the table-cloth we often have carp scales shaped like money so the nex year will be rich.
 Some people (like me) even put them into wallets.

Cutting an apple in half and looking if there’s a cross or a star from the seeds inside. Star means luck,  cross means bad luck and if there’s nothing then you’re bad at cutting 😄.

Putting boats made of wallnut shells with candles in them on water and seeing if they stay together or some split from the others. If they are together, the family should stay together.
