On the occasion of Christmas, I wish all Polish families God's Blessing as well as calm, family holidays.

Along with the first star, may your homes be visited by joy and love.

May we remember not only on this day about all those for whom we put the symbolic plate – the excluded, forgotten. Let us remember about them every day of the coming New Year.

I also wish you that the miracle of birth, which we wait for on every 24 December, happen more and more frequently in all Polish families. 

And so that the coming New Year would be good for all of us, both in our personal and professional lives, and would be the best year for our Homeland, for Poland.
