These were gingerbreads, they are still there today.

No, I meant decorative wafers beautifully hand painted.

Merry Christmas to all.

May the manger of our hearts be resting places for Our Lord Jesus Christ.

May you all experience the joy, love, and peace of the Savior.

Wesołych Świąt!

Merry Christmas to you, too, AntV.

Rumor has it that you'll be back on Jan 2.

Merry Christmas to everyone at PF. 🎄

That's very sweet. Nice to see modest gifts, appropriate to the meaning of Christmas, obviously with a lot of love behind them :) I'm actually knitting a blanket for Mr Atch but I couldn't finish it in time for Christmas. I see some lucky member of your family couldn't wait to get wrapped up in theirs ;))

Happy Holidays to all! *waves*

(and don't forget to give something to the Forum funds too:)

*ducks and runs*

*which is so hard with full stomach*

Thank you BB and Merry Christmas to all :))

Jesus' birthday is not for another two weeks, you heathens!

Your old Russian calendar is obsolete.

Merry Christmas! :)🎄


My family has been giving the coloured ones to house pets and livestock for years.

Gingerbread made and decorated by my niece (baked by her mom, of course) :))): 🤗❤️

The Julian calendar, was in use for 1700 years.

Moscow is the Third Rome.

Of course we use the Caesar's calendar.

The Third Reich, I guess.

Szczęśliwego Kwanzaa!



The holiday is governed by seven principles, known collectively as the Nguzo Saba, and a different principle is celebrated each day:

The Nguzo Saba is represented by a candleholder with seven candles called a kinara.

Today's principle is:

1. Umoja (Unity)

Meaning: To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Significance: Unity is the foundation of collective strength, helping people work together toward common goals and a shared vision.

How does your personal crusade to introduce Afrocentrism in Poland align with Umoja?

That`s good! hahaha


Exactly!! Polonised Africans maintain it and we don`t care about their race coz they feel Poles/Polesses.

Some snacks for a post Christmas family reunion.

Some cakes:

Pic 1: poppy seed cake and plum pie made by my amazing wife. Plums from our garden, btw.
Pic 2: cakes brought by guests. From the left: gingerbreadcake, green apple pie, poppy seed cake inside and next to it this white stuff is exotic cake with pine apple chunks and coconut sprinkle.

Which one did I like the best?? Of course exotic one coz I am a maniac of all fruit.

Can't argue with that ;)

Description of prewar traditions:
" Before the holidays, wafers were bought, there were white and colored ones to choose from, because they were also used to make decorations. Such a Warsaw decoration, which was obligatory and which was hung above the Christmas Eve table from the ceiling, was a white star made of wafer, hung on the maiden's hair," we read.


Neither can I. :):):):
