A Polish Christmas Eve: Mom and Grandma cook and bake all day while Dad and I deliver gifts and cookies then decorate the tree. I finally get to put the angel on top!
Later, the whole family gathers to break bread, exchange wishes for the coming year, and feast. Afterwards, Grandpa leads us in singing carols until Santa appears (I wondered why Dad always missed this part). Presents are all around.
This year's tree is decorated to honor the Ukrainian people.
