We usually eat carp with potato salad. After the dinner we go near the Christmas tree and there we unpack our presents. On the next day we visit our family. We celebrate New Year so that we make fire-works at midnight. Of course, we have snacks and we drink alcohol. • Easter Monday in Slovakia is very popular. Boys go to girls´ houses to pour waterand lash them. Girls give them some money, chocolate or sweet kiss.
