2. POLAND

Poles decorate the Christmas tree the day, two before Christmas Eve but it lasts longer.
The Christmas tree is also often bought in and decorated on Christmas Eve. 
It is decorated with a star on the top (to represent the Star of Bethlehem),
gingerbreads, lights (previously candles) and "bombki" which are baubles and
glass ornaments in different shapes (though most often they are spheres). 
They are usually hand-made, painted or decorated in other way. In the east 
of Poland the decorations are traditionally made of straw and are very beautiful.
In some houses there is also a custom of breaking one of the Christmas 
Tree decorations (e.g. breaking s glass bauble) to scare the evil out of 
the house for the whole next year!

And this is also christmas tree in Warsaw :)

Polish decoratons - Nativity Scene<

Nativity scene is one of the most famous Polish Christmas decorations. Mock-up represents the moment of birth of Jesus. Little boy lying in the cradle, and around him are his parents-Mary and Joseph, Three Kings, the shepherds and animals. Everybody in the refuge before falling out with snow, under the roof of the stable. Nativity symbolizes Christmas.

It is unique - just like Poland.

Christmas  decorations  in  SKOPJE

    Macedonian people give a lot of attention to the celebration of Christmas, which begins with the Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas.  Well, unlike most of the world the unique thing in Macedonia is that Christmas Eve is on the 6-th of January and Christmas is on the 7-th of January. This is because the Macedonian Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar which is 14 days behind. 

    This year's decorations are including two Christmas trees, one at Macedonia Square, and the another near the Zoo Garden. The tree at Macedonia Square is 18 meters tall, and the square is also  decorated with lights and other Christmas ornaments. Zoo Garden's Christmas tree is 9 meters tall, and decorated with luminous ornaments. Apart from the square, the streets and boulevards around Skopje downtown area are also decorated. 

     The lights are permeating through alleys creating captivating magic. Incredible areas bloom with Christmas decorations reflecting the Christmas spiw
