Christmas is definitely one of my favorite holidays! It doesn’t matter where in the world you are, there is just something special about this time of the year.<\/p>\n

Polish Christmas (\u015awi\u0119ta Bo\u017cego Narodzenia<\/strong>) is one of the most festive holiday celebrations in Poland and it plays a major part in Polish culture, tradition and heritage.<\/p>\n

At the rise of the first evening star in the sky,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

People of the common nest break the Bible bread, <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The most tender feelings are conveyed in this bread.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
