Christmas is getting closer and closer, children got their Advent calendars, well, it is just 14 days to Christmas...
It is high time to send Christmas cards to all your family and friends. If you are a relative to someone who lives in Poland, or maybe a friend or an employer or your neighbour happens to be Polish, than maybe you would like to try and write your Christmas greetings in Polish?
As Polish Culture received quite a few requests for help - here it is:
a short guide to Christmas wishes in Polish.

The most universal ones are as follows:

Zdrowych i radosnych Swiat Bozego Narodzenia oraz szczesliwego Nowego Roku zycza …
which means:
Wish you a healthy and full of joy Christmas and a Happy New Year from…

Here is a more private version:

Niech czas Bozego Narodzenia uplynie w atmosferze radosci i milosci, a Nowy Rok spelni wszystkie Wasze marzenia.
Wszystkiego najlepszego zycza…

Let this Christmas time be full of joy and love and the New Year makes all your wishes come true. All the best from…

For most of us, Poles, Christmas is a very special time, when we usually sit down at the table with the whole families. For some of us, though, this will be not possible this year, as out of our own choice we are in the UK. Some brought their families here some will miss their relatives at the Christmas Eve table.
If you are going to write a card to your Polish relative, friend, employee, try to do it in Polish. We are sure it will be appreciated!
