Hi! I would like to write about Christmas Time in Poland. This celebration is very important for Catholics. We have 3 main days. First day is Christmas Eve called in Poland "Wigilia". Everyone waits for the first star of the night on the sky. It has been given the affectionate name of "little star". We traditionally prepare 12 special meals for this night. My favorite is fried fish named "karp". The food is delicious. Every house should have Christmas tree. Children like wearing these trees. Gifts are put down under them. Children love getting Christmas presents. Everyone exchanges greetings and good wishes. When all is ready everyone sits at the table. We taste together special meals and sing Christmas songs. At midnight we can go to the church with family because this time is very important. Everyone wants to pray to God and sing Christmas Songs. Next day is Boze Narodzenie. We eat a lot of meals and visit the family. At night, if you want, you can go to the church. We have free time and everyone is happy. Last day we can visit other people or stay at home and watch TV. Christmas time is a very fantastic time.

A good description which made me think that I like Christmas again! But I'm not sure!

It's interesting to read about what people eat for Christmas in Poland. It sounds better than food at British Christmas...
