In Slovakia, Christmas trees are put up on Christmas Eve. People go to
church and have traditional Christmas dinner that consists of two main
dishes - sauerkraut soup and fish and potatoes salad. After the main
meals, a traditional dish called Loke is eaten, made from baked risen
dough, raisins and poppy seeds. Fruits such as apples, oranges,
pineapples, bananas, and nuts and cakes are popular during this day.
After dinner, Christmas presents kept under the Christmas tree are
opened.

Midnight Mass at the church is followed by a traditional Christmas meal
at home. After the festive meal, children open presents and sing
Christmas carols.
