These are our most important traditions concerning special holidays during the year.\n\nhttp://www.czechheritage.net/nameday.html\n\nCzech republic is a country of many traditions, usually based on superstitions, for example eating a specific food on a specific day may either bring you luck or troubles. People in small villages usually use things such as flowers to predict the future, for example girls try to foretell when will they get married and what shall their husband be like...

My mom's side of the family is from Norway, so we all gather around the piano at her house (my uncle plays-- it's nice to have a concert pianist in the family!) and we sing traditional Norwegian Christmas songs, in addition to regular carols.  Music is a huge part of our Christmas tradition.\nMy fiance's family is Italian, so we do the 7 fishes on Christmas Eve, and make a tour of all his friends houses like he always did when he was a kid.\nWe also started our own tradition of opening presents naked in bed... tee hee.

I don't think the beer barrell polka is so important in real German weddings.  One tradition I find interesting is Polterabend.  On an evening not long before the wedding, the bride and groom have a party with their friends in which they smash a lot of dishes for good luck.

In earlier times, the tradition of making special Christmas crowns, imitating the church chandeliers, was widespread among the Estonians. The tradition disappeared around the turn of the century and was replaced by other Christmas symbols however, there was a revival of the ancient tradition in 1970s when it became very popular to make Christmas crowns once more.

If she misses her culture try putting Czech into a london search engine..  I think there is a bar where eastern european people meet and you may even find a Czech restuarant.  And if you want to make her laugh see if you can hire/borrow a Czech National Costume and wear that as well!!!!\n\nIf not try getting some Czech recipes and cook for her.\n\nEnjoy.

Click on Site above it will take you to all different catigories of countries that celebrate christmas differently!\n\nIn Mexico\nChristmas festivities begin with "Las Posadas," nine days from [December 16 to December 24] of lively parties. In villages and urban neighborhoods throughout Mexico, youngsters gather each afternoon to re-enact the holy family's quest for lodging in Bethlehem … The parade stops at a designated house to sing a traditional [song]. Holiday festivities end on "Noche Buena" (Christmas Eve) when families head home for a traditional Christmas supper and opening of gifts for the children. December 25th is set aside as a day to rest and enjoy the holiday. [On Christmas Eve] my family gathers for a traditional Christmas supper: "tamales" and Champurrado (corn gruel), or other traditional dishes. We dance and wait for 12 midnight to exchange and open gifts! Most relatives stay for the leftovers the next day.\n\nIn Germany, the 6th of December is a special day:\n...There's a special tradition all over Germany on December 6th. [On] the evening of December 5th you put your cleaned (big) boots outside the house in front of the door (or inside). Some people also put a plate there or on the windowsill. The bread in the plate is for the white horse of Santa Claus ... In the morning you see that Santa Claus really was at your house and put nice things into the boots or plates, e.g., all kinds of nuts, oranges, apples, sweets, chocolate, small presents ... But if you [weren't] well behaved the whole year you only get a switch so that your parents can punish you, but they don't!\nKristine and Wiebke, Germany\n\nAnd in Italy, January 6th is a day long-awaited by many children:\nThe 6th of January is the day on which the three Wise Men arrive at the Bethlehem cave in which kid Jesus is and give him gold, incense and myrrh and for this reason in Italy children receive presents traditionally brought by the "Befana," a good old witch who comes into their homes through the chimney. This is the last day to the Christmas holiday in Italy.\nElisbetta, Italy\n\nIn Sweden, December 13th is a special day that children look forward to all year long:\nSaint Lucia [Day] is celebrated all over Sweden on December 13th. The custom with the girl dressed in white with candles on her head has a complicated background ... In our school we celebrate Saint Lucia Day outside very early in the morning while it's still dark. Our Saint Lucia is coming in a carriage pulled by a very small horse. She is followed by Santa Claus on a big horse and a lot of girls and boys in white gowns and a lot of candles. They all sing traditional Christmas songs and read poems. After the ceremony we all eat ginger cookies and bread with saffron. To celebrate is very important to Swedish people.\nClass 4c in Nasbyparksskolan
