Wigilia

heheee...made you look!! you're probably wondering what the heck that title means!! it's our "ethnic" Christmas Eve celebration. for every Christmas Eve of my life, we've done Wigilia. my mom stopped making it when she was in her mid 70s, so i started doing it for my own family at that point (about 15 years ago.) my Wigilia is a mix of Polish and Rusyn tradition. lots of sauerkraut in various incarnations, pierogi, mushroom soup, fish, homemade bread and other stuff that add up to many courses. in my childhood (the photo from around 1962) Wigilia was held at my family's house, with my Grandfather Boleslaw holding court at the head of the table. the "grown-up" table was in the dining room, the "kids table" extended into the living room. Wigilia is one of my most treasured life memories. i thought this remembrance would be a good way to start off December.

Phylis this is fabulous, made me remember Dinner at our table, which was always an extended one so many children, we couldn't all fit at the table at once. Wonderful way to keep a treasured memory alive!
 
Such a fun and unique tradition! I love this page, Phylis. The photos are wonderful. And, what ever happened to the kids table? I sort of miss it sometimes....
 
Wigilia looks and sounds like so much fun! Love the layout especially the cluster of photos at the bottom right!
 
borrowing from you, i think this is splendid!
personally, i loved the kids table :)
 
I remember sitting at a kids table LOL! growing up in the US south west these foods were not available - one of the true pleasures of living in NJ is the variety of foods! A fantastic Polish Deli-Butcher shop is in the next town and I love pierogi. love all the photos and how you used the template! fantastic page!
