原文+答案解析

People in Poland tend to spend Christmas with their families, and the most important point of Christmas is Christmas Eve supper. The whole family just sits around the table and there are twelve traditional dishes on the table and you're supposed to taste them all because if you don't try any of them, you may have bad luck in the following year. Well, before everybody sits down to eat the supper, we just break wafers for each other, wishing each other good luck. W hen the supper is over, the children go to the other room where the big Christmas tree stands and they find some Christmas presents under the Christmas tree. And after supper the whole family just sits around the table singing Christmas songs and waiting for midnight when they go to church.
