In Poland Christmas start 25 December. They last 2 days. We have 10 days Christmas
holidays. In my house 24 December decorate a Christmas tree. Before dinner we divide the
wafer and submit a wish. We eat dinner tonight which consists of 12 dishes. After dinner we open gifts and sing carols. I like
Christmas because I spend it with family. It is a time of peace and reflection. At midnight I'm going with my parents to church. The
second day we visit family.

Christmas recipee for bigos:

Make sure your mushrooms are well done before adding them to the dish especially if you picked them up in the forest by yourself. Otherwise you may get food poisoning.
