hckošice 13,130 Posted December 25, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Traditional christmas dinner After many many years overseas in the USA or Canada, this generation is more lucky in this. The tournament this year is only 15 km from our borders so also the christmas celebrations could have been more specific to our customs than in previous years.
