Polish Christmas has many traditions. In Poland we have Christmas Eve. It is on December 24th. It is a very important day for Polish Christian people. On this day families decorate Christmas tree-fir or pine trees with paper stars, angels, toys, nuts and glass balls. When the first star appears in the sky, people take their seats at the Christmas table. They share wafer and wish one another the best: good health, luck, big money etc. There is a free seat at the table for an unexpected guest. Traditionally there should be twelve dishes. The most popular dishes are red borsch, pies and sour cabbage with mushrooms, fish (usually carp) and pappy-seed cake. An interesting dish is kutia. In it there are nuts, honey, almonds, cooked wheat and dried fruit. There is also a custom of giving presents. At midnight many people go to church. The next day, on December 25, it is Christmas.
