In Poland, Christmas is celebrated very solemnly as a Catholic tradition. Families spend weeks preparing for the rich Christmas Eve dinner, which traditionally includes twelve meatless dishes representing the twelve apostles. On Christmas Eve, families pray, read from the Bible, and divide bread before enjoying their special meal. They also decorate the Christmas tree with colorful balls and lights to symbolize the star that represented Jesus' birth. After dinner, they sing carols, look for gifts under the tree, and attend midnight mass at church to celebrate the new year.
