Back in the 80s our Xmas carp used to swim in the bathtub for a day or two; until my father went to work on it.

My father is! He emigrated and his new wife soon put a stop to such barbaric ways. We still eat carp at christmas though. It's the one time a year my dad works the kitchen. And pea soup and houbovec; combined with South German potato salad and maybe one more dish I don't remember now. They were trying hard to combine traditions. It all used to be extremely exhausting.

It does shorten the carp's suffering by a ride home outside water plus the 1-2 days it would live in the tub.

Have you seen Cozy Dens (Pelíšky)? As far as our Christmas classics go, it's second only to Three Wishes for Cinderella (Tři oříšky pro Popelku).

No! Maybe my mom knows it. If it relies on verbal wit I doubt I'd be able to enjoy it.
Three Wishes for Cinderella (Tři oříšky pro Popelku).
This I watched a few times, with children. In German (Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel). It's an amazingly beautiful film and great production.

You need some very basic knowledge of late 1960s Czechoslovak history. Waves (Vlny) (2024) could provide that but your Czech father has told you, I think.
As far as puns go, I only remember "olovo volovo" (asshat's lead, as in lead-pouring) but it's not too important.
