Day 6: Musical Advent Calendar 2018

Artist: Jaromír Vomáčka Title: Veselé Vánoce Language: Czech Translation: Merry Christmas From what I could work out from the slightly odd result on Google Translate, this cute song from 1967 seems to be a list of the amusing happenings in a family’s preparations for Christmas.
