Polish Christmas Eve Dinner


Polish Christmas Eve dinner is called Wigilia, every year it is hosted by a Girl’s Aunt and Uncle. When the first star in the sky appears, the family gathers at the table to begin the meatless feast to commemorate the birth of Baby Jesus.  The table is decorated in a white tablecloth with a nativity scene on a layer of hay to remember the birth of Baby Jesus in the manger. Before sitting down at the table, all members of the family break the traditional wafer oplatek, and exchange good wishes.  The oplatek is a thin wafer stamped with images of the God Child, Mary and the Angels. Polish carols, kolendy, are played and sung during the meal.  Meals and traditions vary from family to family.
The Menu:
Red beet soup with mushroom filled dumplings
Barszcz czerwony z uszkami z prawdziwkow



Sauerkraut with white beans. Served with sliced challah bread.

  2. At Wednesday's bail review hearing, prosecutors said the younger brothers watched as Michael Ford fired and reloaded, discharging more than 20 rounds during the shootout with police. Police have said that Michael Ford intended to die in the gunfight and that he recorded his last will and testament before heading to the police station. He was shot but survived.

    It must be a lot of pressure to have a "thing." I mentioned in the previous edition obama shirt of this article that Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Harlan "Colonel" Sanders basically turned himself into a human logo on purpose he started wearing that trademark white suit and bolo m&m shirt tie everywhere he went, specifically because it was easy to notice and remember. Put him in shorts and a T shirt and you don't recognize the man, the same as if Elvis Presley had let one piece shirt his hair return to its natural blond and grown a goatee. In Zooey Deschanel's case, it's her trademark bangs brush them aside, and she's a total goddamned stranger.

  4. Most dirt and dirt should come with water and a microfiber towel and Magic Erasers will take care of the dirty accumulation. Knock down any cobwebs if you can reach or get off the broom.شركة تنظيف بالدمام
