December is a month for festive celebrations in Poland

Part of a series developed by World Book Inc. several decades ago for young people, these 80-page books have evolved into a rich storehouse of information for anyone of any age who enjoys learning the Christmas history, stories, regional Christmas songs, Christmas crafts, and holiday recipes of many nations. Two of my favorite parts of "Christmas in Poland" are the chapter on their unique Advent traditions and the chapter on Wigilia, the feast on Christmas Eve. Poland has beautiful Christmas carols and four of them are in this book with the original language, English translations, and piano music. Recipes include Hunter's Stew, Kolacky, Honey Cookies, and Twelve-fruit Compote. The book is richly illustrated with full-color photos. I especially enjoyed the photos of the Szopki (Christmas mangers) that are entered into an annual competition in Krakow. Collect the whole series for your home library, re-read them every December, and share them with friends and family.
