Description

The Polish people are intensely traditional in their holiday celebrations, and this is exemplified at Christmastime. Stories are told and songs are sung around a Christmas tree decorated with nuts, apples, colored paper and straw ornaments. Gifts lay wrapped beneath its boughs. Friends and family come to visit and partake in Wiglia, the traditional Christmas dinner, where a place is left at the table for the Christ Child. But most important to Poles is the true meaning of Christmas and the creche set is one the most cherished Christmas decorations displayed in homes. The Santa of Poland, wearing a warm cape keeps out the cold Polish winters and goes from home to home delivering the creche as the true symbol of Christmas, Christ’s birth.
