Anna Kostrubska, a Ukrainian living in Prague, shared her experience of celebrating Christmas in kindergarten. In her opinion, the celebration’s format differs significantly from Ukrainian family traditions, emphasizing simplicity and minimal parental involvement.<\/p>\n
In her Instagram post, Kostrubska noted that children do not need special thematic costumes – festive clothes are enough for them. The festive event takes the form of concert performances, where the kids sing songs and recite poems learned during the school year. At this time, parents sit in the hall and watch.<\/p>\n
Kostrubska also emphasized that there is no joint chat for parents in the group, and the issue of gifts for educators is left to the discretion of the families. No one is obliged to bring anything, but families can give small souvenirs or sweets, and collective fundraising is not practiced.<\/p>\n
Comparing the Czech approach to celebration with the Ukrainian one, the woman noted that in Ukraine, festive mornings are usually accompanied by several responsibilities for parents, such as finding costumes and organizing chats. In her opinion, the Czech format is less stressful and simpler.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian woman’s post sparked a lively discussion on social networks. Some users criticized this simple approach, calling it insufficient for creating a holiday, while others supported minimalism, emphasizing that the most important thing is children’s comfort. Some comments noted that in many Ukrainian kindergartens today, the necessary costumes are often provided by the institution itself, and festive events are held without financial pressure on parents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
