Many things happened since last note.
The main is that maybe I met my future wife. Such a breaking news isn't it. Anyway no one knows how things will grow in the future. I think that it's not a good time to write more about this. Happy.
Christmas time was surprisingly nice. Real emotions not plastic. Especially singing carols. First time with my family. I feel, that my grannie was waiting for that moment for many many years. She was very happy. I noticed, that the time of Christmas, that I enjoy most is the time of preparing all food (making something that we call 'pierogi' and you don't have any word for this), dressing up a christmas tree with all shining lights and chains, wrapping presents etc. etc.. Even cleaning my room is a pleasure for me then. When ewerything is ready, in the evening we seat and eat delicious, traditional Christmas Eve supper. Interesting if you 'use' wafer in your culture. Maybe it's only Polish custom. We use it this way: everyone has one piece, and during that Christmac Eve supper we share it with everyone, talking best wishes. And we don't say 'How are you?' to hear the answer 'Fine, thanks' (sorry for that irony - I didn't mind to be rude; I'm just too Polish-reserved-man). Another custom is that during that supper, that I mentioned we care to have one extra seat for one unexpected guest (especially poor). This year I didn't do this, because I couldn't find any free plate - that's the joke! By the way. Interesting, what would happen if we follow this custom and homeless would apperar in the door. Sweet custom would dissapear (in my opinion). After supper we share superb presents and then the most important thing in our culture. Christ mass in the middle of the night. Let it be my sweet secret.
After that we eat. The next day we eat. Another day we eat. Till we eat everything. It builds the family like nothing else.
//I promissed myself not to use smilies and it turns out to be extremally difficult - now everything seems so cold and emotionless//
Finishing cold - it was blessed time of Christmas.
