This a different email than usually because I want to inclugde some pictures and write few words of a comment for them. So - there we go :).
In Poland, during Christmas we give and are given presents which we put under the christmas tree
this is ours - it is a real, alive tree :)
I was given a digital camera - amazing! My parents decided to get me one of those because i go to this Holand next month and they want me to send them pictures.
But - coming back to Christmas. On 24th Dec we have a Christmas Eve - we eat together some traditional dishes - fish and some other which english names I do not know...
A cake with poppy
Another dish - poppy, sweet, white bread, milk and delicacies
My sister eating what's left
You may think that all we eat are only sweets - no, no. This are just deserts.
When the evening comes, we get together, wish each other happienes, luck, health and so on. Than my grandparents come, we exchange presents and have nice conversation by the fireplace.
My sister, my grandmother and grandfather (my mother's parents)
Me and my grandma.

That was the 24th Dec. Then, we have two free days - we go to the church and celebrate Jesus birth.
This are some other pictures I took recently:
My mother and our cat - Laura. She looks like she was ill or something - but no - she is just so happy :)
Another picture of my cat - taken by me, while she was sleeping on my knees
Today I had a bike trip, just to relax. Christmas this year are strange, because there is no snow and it is not even cold either. Strange. It is the first time it is like that, as I can remember. On the news they say it has never been that hot since 270 years!
That pictures are taken in the same places - how do you like that? I am glad to live that close to the forest.
My bike
Another picture taken in the woods.
And this is a board that I have in my room. It is covered my meries - there are postcards - from you too, mainly from you I think, your picture from China!, my plance stickers, some other photos, train ticket from Bratislava (Slovakia)) to Brno (Czech republic), Heineken Festival souvenirs and some free space that I am about to fill up. You can click on that image just to enlarge it.
