Polish family in the UK : 11. The last three months of 2020

Hello guys!

If you want to be up to date with what is going on with me and my family, then of course I invite you to my Polish blog.

Here, I only upload a few photos from the last three months and I will write a little briefly about what happened with us.

The fall passed us rather calmly. The children went to school almost all the time. My son unfortunately had home learning in December as there was a coronavirus case in the classroom.

I was able to read some books.But I read fewer books in 2020 than in 2019, even though I was working a lot at the time.

Halloween has been very quiet this year. The day before, I was with the children for a walk in the park. And on Halloween, we were home. We didn't go picking up candies, but a few people knocked on our door for a trick or a trick.

I made an order twice in a Polish online pharmacy. I am curious to see what such orders will look like when the UK is no longer in the European Union. Do you think Brexit is good for the UK?

We even managed to drink coffee a few times in a cafe, not to take away. I already have enough of these limitations that are not really effective at all.

My son had flu vaccinations at school, but we indicated that we did not want to vaccinate him. In my opinion, this vaccine is not necessary if the child is not ill and has very good immunity.

In Poland, it is Christmas Eve that is the most important. The family sits down at the table for the evening and eats certain foods that are usually eaten on that day. These are bigos, dumplings, fish, vegetable salad with mayonnaise, borscht with dumplings, cheesecake, poppy seed cake, croquettes, cabbage rolls with minced meat and rice. First, we share the wafer that symbolizes the body of Christ. We sing Christmas carols and at the end we open gifts.

Later, on Christmas Eve, I lost the smell and taste. It was hard to cook festive dishes when nothing tasted or smelled.

December did not start badly. We signed a contract for a new apartment because we were to move out in January. Unfortunately, we still have to wait for the house change. My beloved had surgery under general anesthesia, and later fell ill with coronavirus.

My mother lives in Germany. Every year, she sends money, gifts and a carton of sweets for Christmas.

Milosz also brought Christmas gifts from school.

Milosz and I were making Christmas decorations from salt dough. Milosz cut out the shapes, I put them in the oven, and when they got cold, Milosz painted them with paints.

This year's Christmas cards were sent in a package to my sister, who would later distribute them to everyone. Only to my mother I sent a postcard, because my mother does not live in Poland.

In Poland, children receive gifts twice in December. First time in Mikolajki, St. Nicholas Day. In the evening, the children clean their shoes earlier and put them on the windowsill. At night, Santa Claus comes and puts small gifts and sweets in their shoes. In the morning, when the children get up, they have a surprise. In some regions, gifts are hidden under a pillow or on the balcony.
