Polish Names day traditions? Presents? Food? [39]
Celebrating your names day is very old fashioned and many people simply don't bother with it, why are you being such a sh*t? I remember we used to celebrate my late Nan's imieniny, all her sisters and friends would come over for tea and biscuits and chat about the olden days, but my folks don't celebrate theirs, nor do my sisters because we just don't. I know people my age who celebrate their namesday but like i said, they're chavs just looking for an extra excuse to get p*ssed, it's got absolutely nothing to do with being a true Pole and remembering your roots etc. Macdonalds, Madonna and mtv? Where did you get that crappy line from? You an American Pole or something, cos them guys usually have this deluded image of Poland and it's people, so over-patriotic that it makes me cringe, with no idea what Poland is really like. Live and let live.
