Happy Name Day, Milena!

Dneska má svátek, Milena. 
Today we are celebrating Milena ...Happy Name Day, Milena! 
Every day in the Czech Republic is associated with a name, thus "name day" or as we say, "svátek" (holiday).  It's not as big of a celebration as a birthday would be, but it's still something we Czechs honor.  It's not necessary to do so, but some people give a small gift, such as a bottle of wine, flowers, or candy.
