The Traditions

• Slovakia has more traditional dances. They are
  called folklore. We have a traditional meal, too.
  Its sheep cheese haluskas. Especially with
  bacon. Its very famous and delicious. In
  Slovakia we have special Christmas. The week
  before the Christmas night we usually decorate
  our Christmas trees. We have Christmas dinner on
  24th December. 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 water and lash them.
  Girls give them some money, chocolate or sweet
  kiss.
