Christmas Traditions

We’re all used to Polish Christmas traditions and they don’t seem to be weird for us but some foreigners might find them unusual. Just like we consider many of  their habits quite bizarre. 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.

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

Although people tend to be afraid of shark attacks, the fear is not entirely justified and it most likely a result of movies fiction than being a witness of one.  In fact, in 2015, there have been twelve recorded selfie deaths in comparison to eight people dying because of shark attacks.

In Russia selfie deaths have become so popular that the government even released a guide detailing how not to die while taking a picture of yourself.

It is essential to bake gingerbreads at least 3 weeks earlier, if you want them to be soft on Christmas day. Of course it all depends on the recipe and  measurements of the ingredients. Basic gingerbread’s dough should be composed of wheat flour, rye flour, honey, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. But  obviously exist millions of recipes, that may vary in different countries and regions. The history of gingerbreads date back to ancient times, when their first version appeared in Romanian Imperium. In Middle Aggies they became more popular thanks to monasteries and monks who were importing spices from the east in times of crusades. The tradition of baking gingerbreads became more and more popular during the years, especially around Christmas time. We not only bake them but the most important part of process is decorating. In Pol...
