Sunday, December 26, 2004.

Despite the rain, the Old Town Square was a party scene this evening. Instead of the typical slate of community choral groups, tonight’s fare was jazz and rock by local performers. Interspersed among lively Czech hits were familiar favorites such as Three Dog Night’s Joy to the World (in Czech), Frank Sinatra favorites (in English), a Louie Armstrong rendition of It’s a Wonderful World (in English) and a solo acapella White Christmas (Irving Berlin) in Czech to the tolling of the Old Town Clock at precisely 7 p.m. (19:00). As the night wore on, the crowds and umbrellas increased. The hot food and drink stalls appeared to be doing well, but the few gift stalls that were open did not seem to generate much interest.
