Wigilia

Lucia found for each family a book that explain all the customs and traditions of the Polish tradition of Wigilia.

Christmas...

A wonderful time to reflect on all the joys and treasures we have.

Christmas 2006

Wigilia was held on Christmas Eve - the first anniversary of Grandma Angie's death.  Father McMahon did a Mass earlier in the day in her remembrance.  We cooked all week to get the traditional Polish dishes done.  It was an enjoyable evening.  Edi and Jerry had to take Grandma Lola back early as she was tiring quickly.  Stacy, Tim, and Jared went to California to spend the holidays with his family. Jared started walking on his own last weekend.

Christmas day - more eating (traditional supper).  This was the year of Chanel - Lisa got shoes, Erika got sunglasses, and Barb a purse. Now there was quite the story on how they got the purse (remember those photos of Vegas and all the Prosecco bottles - they skipped into the Chanel store and bought it. They had it shipped to the shop so someone wouldn't find it.)  Of course, Oscar was very happy with his moose and his red patent-leather Coach collar (courtesy of Erika, who still works there on Sundays).
