Our holidays were always full of fun and tradition. Christmas Eve was our time with relatives. We always had a traditional Polish dinner at our house. Fish, pierogies, and mushroom soup on the menu. Us kids were always so impatient waiting to open gifts.

Christmas Day was just us. We never went anywhere...just spent it with our little family. We would open gifts first thing and then have all day to play. Dad would spend hours putting toys together and playing with us. Mom would usually nap since she was always up so late wrapping gifts.
