People eat grapes at midnight in Spain on New Years NOT Christmas!

Krampus is very well known in Hungary as well. He's the companion of Father Winter, and they come on the 6th of December (Mikulas day). Father Winter has a big bag of sweets and gifts, and Krampus has twigs painted silver and decorated with ribbons. Good children get presents put into their - nicely cleaned - boots that they left on the windowsill before going to bed, and the bad ones get the twigs (virgacs) as a simbolyc spanking. (Of course nobody ever actually gets the twigs, or they get them along with the gifts as a reminder to be even better next year.) They have nothing to do with Christmas though, this is a separate holiday during the Advent time. At Christmas the presents are brought but Baby Jesus. (Don't ask me how he is a baby and how a baby carries gifts or any of that...) On Holy Night (24th of Dec) the children are sent out of the room where the Christmas tree is, the door is closed, and they have to wait in a different room.

Never heard about apples being hung on a Christmas trees in Poland... Never seen even one. As Poland is full of apples it was an easy guess though, even if it's not true. Maybeeee there's a region here where they do so, but i do believe it comes from the past, where glass ornaments like "bombka" were pricey. The most Polish thing about Christmas is a family sharing an "opłatek" at the Christmas Eve (wigilia). Second tradition would be leaving an empty seat for a stranger or for those who passed away. Third - 12 dishes in honour of 12 apostles (might not be Polish thing only though), fourth - a straw under tablecloth to resemble the barn/stable Jesus was born in, fifth - "kolęda", a tradition with youngsters walking from a house to house on a Christmas eve and singing carols for a spare change with costumes and such (a bit like Halloween, but it's rare and dying). Guess those are the most common and Polish ones.

I think you forgot to delete the photo instructions on number 9!
