How can you say it isn't? It is a dead animal! It may be acceptable to eat it, but that doesn't change what it is? Ditta, fish IS meat. How can you say it isn’t? It is a dead animal!

Christmas tree should be adorned at the Christmas Eve in the morning. and fish is NOT MEAT, so you can eat it as much as you want;) at 12.00pm go to the church and have a mass and merry Christmas WesoÅ‚ych ÅšwiÄ…t!!! as Ela said, do not pour wax on water. you should also have some hay under the table-cloth. before the feast pray, read The Bible about Christ’s Birth, pray and share the wafer (break a small part from every and give them best wishes). then you can start a feast. there should be also one more plate and chair for unexpected guest (because at Christmas Eve nobody should be alone), sing traditional carol, let children unwrap all presents.

The part of Poland my family is from serves an odd number of courses, usually 7. But, friends of ours who are also from Poland serve 12 dishes. And the meal isn't strictly vegetarian because you serve fish! The number of dishes depends on what region of Poland your ancestors are from.
