Christmas Decorations

Directions: Color and cut out the Polish Christmas decorations .

Most of these Christmas decorations were homemade. During the year, egg shells,

scraps of paper, wood, string, yam, tinfoil, straw and feathers were collected to be

used to make ornaments. AGwiazdka@* (little star) is a most important Christmas

symbol and the word has come to mean AChristmas,@ much as we use AXmas.@

Christmas presents are often called "star-gifts." Angels and snowflakes are also

popular Christmas designs.
