1 Christmas in Poland, that the greatest moment is the evening of December 24, always remains in Poland the most important celebration.

2 Christmas and Santa Claus Day are not celebrated at the same time in Poland, but rather three weeks apart. Santa Claus Day is celebrated on December 6th.

3 On Christmas Eve, the whole family gathers and waits impatiently for the appearance of the first star. With its first gleam, they all approach a table covered with hay and a snow-white tablecloth.

4 Special tasks carried out during Advent are the baking of the Christmas gingerbread. Pierniki are made in a variety of shapes, including hearts, animals and St. Nicholas figures.

5 Traditionally, the Christmas tree is decorated on the Wigilia day. Today, the Christmas tree is adorned with apples, oranges, candies and small chocolates, hand-blown glass ornaments, candles or lights, and home-made paper chains.

6 One of the most beautiful and most revered Polish customs is the breaking of the wafer.The wafer is a thin wafer made of flour and water. We divide the wafer and we give a wish.

7 Some of the more popular Christmas carols are: "To the Town of Bethlehem","Let Us All Go ","Rejoice Bethlehem", "God is Born", "Midst Quiet Night", "Hush- A-Bye Little Jesus”.
