That is my phonetic "Merry Christmas" in Polish! Haha Don't ask me to say Happy New Year...it's a doozy! (Vehsowago nihvago rohkoo...or something).
What I've learned about Polish Christmas:
-The big meal is on Christmas eve...12 dishes to be exact, and no meat. This includes perogies (with mushrooms and cabbage inside), fish, and "little ear" soup...the little ears are little perogies stuffed with mushrooms.
-They set the table with hay underneath the tablecloth. This represents Jesus being born in a manger.
-They always set an extra place, because at Christmas people are always welcome.
-Presents are opened on Christmas eve.
-On Christmas day there is lots of meat to be had. This is a day for family.
-The second day of Christmas (Boxing day) is a day for more eating, visiting house to house among friends.
OFFICIALLY ON HOLIDAYS!!! Heading to Heather's to open our mail together, then off to Vienna tomorrow! Fingers crossed our trains work out...apparently a piece of the track between Radom and Warsaw is missing!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR! LOVE LOVE LOVE! xo
