One of the strangest czech christmas traditions: You have to buy live carp on the street few days before Christmas. Then bring your brand-new friend to your bathtub and wait untill Chtismas Eve comes. In the afternoon on 24^th December the strongest one of your family goes to the bathroom and KILLS THE CARP! Christmas Eve dinner: fried carp, potato salad and fish soup:o)

Well, actually number of people who let vendors to kill their carp is growing up every year:o(
