Christmas in Poland - Monika Skwarek, 1i

Christmas Eve

Christmas in Poland is so beautiful. People in Poland are very nice and helpful for everyone. Before Christmas Eve people sweep and do crazy shoping. They buy presents for family and food for Christmas supper. Next they decorate Christmas trees. Some of them decorate trees on Christmas Eve. On the Christmas Eve we eat twelve dishes. People leave one plate for unprospective guest. When the first star comes up Polish people start eating. On the supper we eat fish for example carps and herrings. We don't eat meat then. We don't drink wine. We drink compote with shrivel apples, plums and pears. After Christmas Eve supper we sing carols and we unpack presents. Before midnight we go to church on ceremonial Mass. I love Xmas because then I spend time with my family and it's got a specific cermonial tone.
