Baking Day!

Today is baking day. Jacob and I will be baking Christmas cookies all day. I love baking with my son, it is a real bonding experience. After the cookies, Jacob will bake a big batch of Brownies and a Cherry Cobbler for Wigilia (Christmas Eve). Wigilia (Christmas Eve) has always been the bigger celebration in my family, it's a Polish thing.

If you are interested, you can read about the Polish tradition of Wigilia.

More bloggy goodness later, then. To my Polish friends:

Wesolych Swiat! Bozego Narodzenia!

I've always wondered why my family has patogi instead of pierogi (pretty much the same thing.) I suspect you could trace it to the section of the country my grandparents are from, because much like the Ukraine, the Polish language is more of a gradient than an absolute.

My family's traditional meal is here. Note that it doesn't follow the rules laid out on the site you linked to, and that may be due to a couple of generations of watering down. (We open our presents on Christmas proper, for example.)

There was a great article on Wigilia in our paper here yesterday (they've been profiling Christmas traditions from around the world) sounds neat! I'm glad your family still gets together and observes its traditions. Ours have sadly become more American than Armenian over the years. Merry Christmas Rose and Dean and Jake and Drake!

Have a Wonderful Wigilia and a very Merry Christmas!

Baking Day made me think, once again, of Baker Day!, July 25, 1946, at Bikini Atoll. One of a spendid series of our American anti-Communist atom bomb and hydrogen bomb tests. I'm very glad I'm not a Communist. The Communists feared our nuclear bomb tests. A bomb test a day keeps the Commies away. Three days after that particular test, the first bikini swimsuits were unveiled at a Paris fashion show. I'd love to see the Queen of All Evil in a bikini. Here's another picture of the anti-Communist atom bomb test of Baker Day!

I love to think of holy Dawn and her holy Negro wife Norma in their blue and red bikinis out in the Western islands watching such a bomb test against the Communists. "Our Holy War: The Goddess Against the Godless"....

Merry Christ's Mass, 2004, Anno Domini!
