In Poland, Santa Claus, known as a fat grandfather with a long grey beard, brings presents on December 6th. For Christmas Eve, families traditionally look for the first star before a supper of 12 dishes including fish, potatoes, cabbage, and compote. At school, children celebrate Christmas with decorations, trees, presents for friends, and a Nativity play.

17. Christmas Eve
On Christmas eve in
Poland we usually look
for the first star to start
the supper. We put some
hay under the table-cloth
and on the table we put
an additional plate for an
unexpected guest. We
read a fragment of the
Holy Bible about the
Jesus birth. Before the
supper we divide a wafer
and wish each other
Merry Christmas etc.
