Christmas traditions in Slovakia include St. Nicholas bringing sweets to good children on December 6th and Baby Jesus bringing presents on Christmas Eve. Some legends are eating nothing all day to see a golden pig, throwing nuts at dinner for good fortune, and cutting an apple together to ensure meeting again next year. The traditional Christmas dinner includes sauerkraut soup, potato salad, carp, fruits, and eating wafers with honey and garlic for health. Schools hold Christmas crib festivals and decorate the buildings for the holidays.
