Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Wesołych Świąt! Posted by Anna on Dec 24, 2009
Wigilia, Wigilia i po Wigilii… How are your stomachs? Suffering from heartburn and indigestion? If not, that wasn’t a proper Polish Christmas Eve then. If yes, congratulations, and don’t worry, the pain is normal, especially after eating karp. And oh yeah, you shouldn’t be able to dig yourself out from the mountains of gift wrap…
Polish Christmas Eve Celebrations – one more time Posted by Anna on Dec 12, 2009
Because I know that not everyone reads all the comments to all the posts, I took the liberty of “borrowing” two entries from the “Polish Christmas Eve Abroad” post and including them here, as I think they are great and everybody should see and read them. 🙂 The first one is from Kim in Boston…
