CHRISTMAS TERROR

Traditional Christmas in Poland is terrible. Since 50 years I'm scared when this is coming.
15 millions of Poles travel like crazy in all directions. The trains, coaches, highways are in total chaos. In offices and factories two days before are a Christmas Party, and then a half of drivers are drunk and you never know who and when will kill you.
3 millions are going to Zakopane (a small resort in the mountains) to make this place more noisy and dirty. At least 1 million will fly to Tunisia or Egypt just for drinking with other Poles in hotels and 1 million will flight back from London (where are for a job) jamming the Heathrow Airport.
Other 15 millions doing the hell in the malls and supermarkets. For Christmas must be 12 dishes (of course at least 9 will be thrown in the garbage because it is impossible to absorb these tons of food)
Rats from corporations hunting for bonuses trying sell me hundreds useless things. My mobile is ringing all the time.
Grandparents threats the immediately decease, if the obligatory visit will be ignored.
The same stories, jokes, behaviours since 50 years. And the "Home Alone" I; II; III, on all channels on TV (it's impossible to find something other).
You, Americans are lucky. You have only 1,5 Christmas Day. Poles have a full 3 days of massacre.
The cherry on the cake was when we spoke with family about our cruising plans. The best time for passing the Atlantic is November/December. My mother in law of course made the rumpus. "What about the Christmas ? On the sea ? Alone ? and you not will be with us ? This will kill me".
Polish Christmas Thriller.
Anyway, I wish you all Merry Christmas.
