People in Poland start celebrating Christmas on the 24th of December, Christmas Eve. In the morning, we decorate the Christmas tree.
When we see the first star in the sky, we start our Christmas Eve dinner. The table is very special on this day. We put the tablecloth and one spare plate for stranger to come . Before the dinner, we break the wafer and we wish each other best.
We have twelve dishes, we don’t eat any meat on Christmas Eve. We eat fish, vegetables and cake. We open the presents on the Christmas Eve, after the supper and caroling. Christmas Eve is finished by going to church for a Midnight Mass service.
Christmas Day is the day we spend with all the family members. People in Poland also like kissing under the mistletoe.
