Christmas

 

Christmas season which began months ago is reaching its peak. Main streets and shopping centres are besieged with rushing people. I took part in this act of madness when I went to get presents for my friends (and one for myself!) and supplies to survive these few days of holidays. Credit crunch still remains almost invisible.

This is the third consecutive Christmas that I’m not spending with my family and only now am I beginning to miss being with them at this time. The Christmas Eve supper I’m making is going to be nothing like the supper I would be having now in Poland. After all, how can cod with roast potatoes compare to, traditionally, twelve dishes which include my favourite pierogi and barszcz? I’ve already promised myself to spend the next Christmas with my family. Just to think I had never particularly liked this time of year.

 

I would like to wish all my friends and everyone who reads this blog a very Happy Christmas.
