26th Grand Finale of WOSP will take place Sunday, 14th of January. This year all the collected funds will be devoted to purchase the equipment that would help to ensure that all the babies born in Poland have equal access to medical care. We all can support the cause and donate the money via bank transfer, buying special heart shaped stickers from the volunteers or biding auctions with special items donated by celebrities, politicians, etc. Also like each year, all over the country, there will be lots of events and concerts that support the action. For example, in Poznan, at 12.00 you can join the urban run. The list of attractions, as well as the bank account number and all the information needed can be found on the WOSP internet site.

In 2015: More people have died by taking selfies than by shark attacks

Here’s the list of 8 that I find particularly different. 1.        In Austria, parents threat their children with Krampus- the evil brother of Santa that comes overnight on 5 th and 6 th of December and punishes bad kids. He’s truly scary and has goat’s horns on his head. During this night we may encounter many people dressed as Krampus in the streets. 2.        Japanese eat KFC on Christmas Day. 3.        In India the traditional Christmas tree is a banana or mango tree. 4.        Women in Czech Republic  have a tradition to make some predictions or foretells during the Holiday.
