Christmas

This year was the first time Leos and I had to make Christmas dinner.  I got my mom's recipe for her potato salad and Leos decided to make fried salmon.  I made open sandwiches with the potato salad and they turned out great.  After our food prep was done, Leos and I went on a nice walk through Petrin that led to the castle.  I saw that people were entering St. Vitus quite quickly, so I had a suspicion that it had free entry.  There was a sign mentioning that you needed a ticket, but that wasn't the case.  It was free to enter.  It was a pleasant surprise. It was nice to see the huge Christmas trees inside the cathedral.  We got really lucky with timing because when we exited people couldn't enter anymore.  The cathedral closed at 4pm and we arrived just before that.  We then walked to Zlata Ulicka, which is always free to enter after hours.  We headed back home because EVERYTHING was closed.  We enjoyed our Christmas meal and opened our presents.  It was a very nice Christmas eve.  Then on Christmas day, we went to Trebic to visit Leos's parents.  We were welcomed with food, cookies, and presents.  Then his sister and her kids came to the house.  It was a nice and relaxing Christmas.  The only unfortunate thing is that there wasn't any snow.  Merry Christmas everyone.  Hope you had a wonderful time with your family and friends.
