Thought I'd start in time for celebrations
I've seen a few posts that mention what people have at Christmas and it always gives me fond memories of Christmas Eve. However, we didn't have fish as a lot of people said but we did have 12 dishes/varieties of food (all very yummy). It was mainly plates of different meat and hot dishes and all the different breads.
I can't remember having things for a sweet, which is surprising considering Polish have a sweet tooth.
I do remember it taking all day to prepare and had to be done before night fall - my aunt used to flap if they got behind - i learnt a few words i wasn't meant to (lol).
What do others do at Christmas. I get the best of both - still have a nice meal on Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
I would love to know how its still celebrated.
