<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nRecently the afternoon children were lucky to learn first hand about Christmas in Poland from Paulina’s Mum and it was very interesting to find out about the traditions that are similar and some that different to Christmas in Scotland.
\nThe children were surprised to learn that Santa visits children in Poland on December 6th with a small gift then returns on the 24th with their main present. They often have beetroot soup with pasta to start their Christmas meal which is on December 24th and they usually have fish as the main course rather than turkey like many people in Scotland. Paulina’s family, like most Polish families, always has an empty chair at their table for their Christmas meal in case a stranger calls and wants to join them.
\nWe all loved hearing about Paulina’s Mum’s Christmas traditions from the past and present and would like to thank her for helping us to learn about Christmas in another country. We hope that she enjoyed the songs that the children performed for her by way of a thank you.
