Hi to all / Ahoj vsichni,
I was a little disappointed about the upcoming activities for the month of December (although I found some more of them). There are not very many of them despite the fact that December is a big month for the Czech/Slovak culture. Besides the Christmas Eve we also celebrate the St. Nicholas Day (Den Svateho Mikulase) which is a BIG deal mostly for the little ones…..
