Poland

In Poland, Christmas Eve dinner is the one of most important celebrations of the year. Although this meal is reserved for the closest family, it's customary to set an extra plate and seat for an unexpected guest, or even a vagrant. Most of the dishes served are cooked specifically for this special day – and only once a year!

ITALY

In Italy there is not a single tradition in the whole country: there are those who wait for midnight with a family dinner based on fish or those who meet for lunch on Christmas day, in this case based on meat.

The most impatient wait is that of the children who, if they have been really good, will receive the gifts of Santa Claus.
