slippery road in the morning, today was warm like in spring, joy, emptiness- maybe because of the trees without leaves

OTHER

Like all of the Christians we are getting ready for Christmas. On the 24 December we have Christmas Eve and we prepare a special family Christmas dinner (we eat a fish carp, mushroom soup, poppy seed cake, share wafers with the whole family and sing carols). It’s a very special day for the Poles. At midnight many people go to a church on a mass- it’s called “pasterka”. On Christmas Day we visit our families.

So Merry Christmas to all our partners!
