			* In regards to Christmas traditions, Betty Jane wrote, ““No, I don’t remember hanging stockings. I don’t remember that they [Baba & Dzedo’s children] did either. I know we always had the traditional dinner on Christmas Eve before midnight mass. There was no meat, just fish and rice, little dumplings with poppy seed, pierogis, saurkraut and some other I don’t remember. Also when I was very little, my dad put straw under the kitchen table to signify the manger. Later my mom made him stop as she had to clean it up [each year]. Then sometime between Christmas and New Years, the priest came to the house to bless it for the new year. We had to clean like crazy so, God forbid, he should find any dirt. Remember those toys you thought you could not live without,well, neither do I? My dad made me a doll crib which I still have and once I got a wicker rocker and a large doll named David, both of which I still have. Best of all, I remember every Christmas at Baba’s with all the great food and family dropping in all day."
