Choinki!

Choinki are Christmas trees. Santa is leaning because the wind was blowing (we were freezing). We didn't know where to buy a tree so we first stopped at the nursery closest to our house. The prices were clearly posted on a sign but we didn't know the words for the types of evergreens. Since the tallest, most expensive tree was within our budget, we weren't worried about which one we picked. Tim held up the first tree we saw and it was perfect. Less than 60 seconds to choose and it was only $50- the cheapest tree we have bought in many, many years!

On the way home we stopped at Wedel for hot chocolate. Wedel has been a beloved manufacturer of chocolate in Poland since the 1850's. The menu has pages and pages of varieties of hot chocolate.
