VY_32_INOVACE_1.2.AJ3,4.20/Kf It the homes there is a great air of expectations. Children decorate the Christmas tree with tinsel, various baubles and colour lights. The bunch of mistletoe is hung from the ceiling under which the boys kiss the girls. Children hang stockings over the fireplace or at the end of the bed and wait for Father Christmas (or Santa Claus as he is often called) to come and fill them with presents. Children believe that Sanla Claus comes on his sledge pulled by reindeers very early on the Christmas Day morning. He parks his sledge on the roof, enters the house through the chimney and puts the presents into their stockings. The children leave mince pies, some biscuits, a glass of milk or brandy for Father Christmas and a carrot for a reindeer on the fireplace.

A proper Christmas pudding is strirred from East to West in honour of the three Wise Men and made with 13 ingredients to represent Christ and His Disciples. Every member of the family must give the pudding a stir and make a secret wish.There is also an old custom of stirring into the pudding a coin , a thimble and a ring to bring wealth, work and a wedding to those who find it. Brandy is often poured over the pudding, which is then set a light as it is carried to the table (to scare off the evil spirits). The lights are turned off so people can see the flames.It is served with custard or brandy sauce. Autorem materi lu a v ech jeho st , nen -li uvedeno jinak, je Mgr.
