Life / what should i say to people while giving out opłatki? [9]
Okay this is like my 4th Christmas in Poland - I always celebrate Christmas with my uncle's family. So the first time, I was excused from wishing in Polish because I virtually knew next to nothing. Second time, I could say something like "Wesołych Świąt." Third time, I had a decent command of Polish so I started to be more creative with "Życię ci pełne zdrowia i szczęścia" (probably butchered the grammar there). This time, I really want to say more things other than just zdrowie and szczęście. What are the other variations that people usually wish one another while giving out opłatki? I also have some little cousins, so I hope I can wish them to study well and grow big too.
No words are too big for me, I have a decent command of Polish, I just don't have a lot of opportunities to practice it - Really appreciate your help!
I like eating opłatki btw.
