Hi! I’m from the Czech Republic and Christmas is also the biggest holiday here. It's a little bit strange because our country is probably the most atheistic in Europe... Maybe it's the reason why I don't like Christmas so much... Everybody spends a lot of money to buy many gifts which nobody needs and wants, makes a lot of food that nobody can eat, etc. Mostly, it's not a spiritual holiday, conversely, it's all just about consumption.
But I’m trying to spend this time differently. So, me and my husband will make a nice dinner for us, we’ll give a little gift to each other and then we’ll enjoy a peaceful holiday.
Your version of Christmas sounds much better. 😊 Enjoy it and Merry Christmas! ❤️
