In Poland people start preparing for Christmas at the beginning of December. Christmas trees are set in every home and decorated with sparkling tinsel, lights, glass balls. On Christmas Eve when the first star appears in the sky people sit at a table. They share wafer and wish one another the best: good health, luck, big money etc. They do not forget about leaving an empty place for an expected guest.
At midnight many people go to church to attend a special mass. 25 December is spent at home. The next day people pay and receive visits. Christmas in Poland is the most familiar, traditional and joyful time.
Traditionally there should be twelve dishes. The most popular dishes are: red borsh with pies, carp: fried or in a jelly, pies with mushrooms, herrings, poppy-seed. After supper they give each other presents which were put under the Christmas tree.
