Gingerbread Christmas Cookies - Prague, Czech Republic
© December 03 2006, Uncornered Market

Prague Chrismas markets are bursting with decorative gingerbread cookies.

The fish is a carp, the most recognized Czech Christmas symbol, as Czech families eat carp and potato salad as their Christmas evening meal. About 10 days before Christmas, large plastic tubs of water loaded with fresh fish swimming around appear on every other street corner. Families choose a fish from the tub, and have the choice to take it home alive and allow it to swim around the bathtub until Christmas Eve arrives.
