Christmas Eve in Poland

I remember Christmas Eve as a child.
My family would gather around the table, laden with traditional Polish dishes.
The smell of pierogi and barszcz filled the air, and the anticipation was palpable. ✨

We would break the opłatek, a thin wafer of bread, and exchange wishes for peace and goodwill. Then, we would sing traditional Polish carols, our voices echoing through the house.

The highlight of the night was the midnight mass, or Pasterka. We would walk to church, our hearts filled with joy and excitement. The church was adorned with twinkling lights and the scent of incense. As we sang along to the familiar hymns, I felt a sense of peace and belonging.

Christmas Eve was a magical time, ✨ filled with love, laughter, and the spirit of the season. It was a time to connect with my family and cherish the traditions that had been passed down from generation to generation.

At CIG Travel, we cherish these traditions and strive to bring the spirit of the holidays to every journey we plan. Let us help you create unforgettable travel experiences, filled with joy and wonder.

What Christmas traditions do you remember from your childhood? Share your memories in the comments below!

Travel Tip: Timing is Everything - When to Book Your European Vacation

Dreaming of cobblestone streets, ancient ruins, and charming cafes? ☕️ 🏰

One of the most important factors in planning a successful European vacation is booking in advance.

🍃For peak season (June-August): Book flights and accommodations 5-8 months in advance, especially if traveling during school holidays.
🍃For shoulder seasons (April-May & September-October): 3-5 months in advance should give you good options and potentially better deals.
🍃For the off-season (November-March): You might have more flexibility with booking dates, but be aware that some attractions may have limited hours or be closed entirely.
