Me: don't get emotional about Hob + food again
Also me at 2 am: I bet Hob is notorious among his friends for hosting Christmas Dinner because deep down he will always associate Christmas with feasting, no matter how meager the food was. And he bakes about 100 mince pies because although they've changed over the years they've always been around. And he can't listen to carols without crying and he always decorates the house with holly and winter foliage and he genuinely celebrates the 12 days of Christmas in a way that nobody does anymore. And Christmas might just really be an excuse to feed himself and his friends and get absolutely leathered but he's so happy about it! Even Dream sips the mulled wine and nibbles Christmas cake. He doesn't believe in God but he does believe in marzipan.

from a christmas-celebrating czech, here are some christmas traditions families sometimes keep which are not often noted in foreign sources, not very detailed or not closely explained:
families get together on the 24th of december. the gifts are hidden in the room with the christmas tree. (or, if there's nobody who believes in ježíšek and the traditions are just a formality, the gifts are set under the tree.)
usually the host cooks the christmas feast. the traditional food is fish soup, potato salad and breaded and fried carp. that's less and popular today as the consumption of christmas carp has a similar history the the american thanksgiving turkey (just too much fuckin carp dude), usually there are many options to choose from when it comes to meat, be it different fish, chicken and pork schnitzel, or meatless being breaded mushrooms or cheese, and common substitutes for potato salad is creamy mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes.
the rest of the family either helps or hangs out, watching christmas czech, czechoslovak, soviet or foreign (usually english, american or german) movies, eating christmas treats and cookies (cukroví).
when everybody sits down at the table for christmas dinner, it is prohibited to get up up until the bell rings. if the feast is too big to fit on the table, there are smaller tables set up around the big one, or only the host can get up. this rule is very amusing to parents (or patient people) because you can hold the whole table hostage while the children are So Desperate For The Gifts Uncle Come On!!! Why Have You Been Eating That Single Piece Of Fish For 4 Minutes 18 Seconds Now
after the food, traditionally one of the plates has a carp scale hidden under it, and the person who finds it will have great luck. today it's more symbolic, again, so either all the children/young couples find a carp scale, or everyone finds one, or of there's no carp served, there's usually coins hidden there.
the christmas tree is usually set up in the living room or just a different room from where the dinner is set. the idea is that while you're eating, "little jesus" can come and bring your presents and put them under the christmas tree. when he leaves, he rings a little bell, meaning you can get up and go get your gifts.
this is an illusion usually kept up by the host getting up to carry the empty plates into the kitchen. while they're away, they go to the living room where the gifts are hidden around, and place them under the tree. then they ring the bell and run back to the dining space, saying the he left just as they came in.
unless children who still believe in ježíšek ("little jesus") are present at the christmas table, it's usually just kept symbolically, and there's not that much emphasis on keeping the magic alive- for example ringing the bell at the table, or leaving without the bell.
when everybody is sat around the tree, the youngest usually fetches the gifts to everyone. (if they're too young to read, they bring it to someone who reads the tag for them.) it depends on the family, but sometimes everybody waits for all the gifts to be distributed to open the gifts, sometimes they open the gifts as they get them, sometimes everybody opens at once, sometimes people wait to see everybody's individual reactions.
feel free to add more!!
