Hi there,

My name is Adam Stachowski.  I�m 13 years old. I�m from Poland. I live in Szczecin, it�s a city in North-West of Poland, only 20 minutes from Germany and 1,5 hours from Berlin. My hobbies are: football, biology, medicine. I�m an active scout.
I love travelling, meeting new people.
I want to write about Christmas in Poland.
We have three days of Christmas, it starts 24th Dec., this is Christmas Eve and this is very important day for Polish people. In this day we have Christmas dinner, when are 12 dishes on the table, there must be: carp, herring, beetroot soup, duplings, wafer, "kutia"(this is dish made from: wheat, poppy, raisons and honey). We always prepare extra one empty place for unexpected guest. Before dinner we share wafer wishing all the best to each other. Later after whishes we must try all 12 dishes. When we finish eating dinner we sing carols and get presents which Santa Claus puts under Christmas tree. Later we go to church at midnight, because this is Christmas Day. Later when we come back home, we go to bed and when we wake up we prepare special breakfast.
This day we visit family and friends. 26 Dec. is very special day, when people go to church, sing carols, meet with friends and family.
