Ornaments Poland
I am going to Poland at Christmas time. What are the best cities to find handmade Christmas ornaments?

ZAKOPANE, ZAKOPANE, ZAKOPANE. Although I do not know so much about the ornaments themselves, this is where you will experience the most interesting culture. this is where you will find things that represent how the rest of the world looks at Poland in a stereotypical fashion.

Be careful though, watch what you are buying...Poland has fallen victim to the Chinese importation culture as much as the rest of the world...So just because it looks Polish does not mean it is!!!

And by the way, Christmas is BIG TIME in Poland...Not big time gift giving like it is in the U.S....But they take christmas very seriously, they celebrate the true meaning of christmas. Prepare yourself for what may be an experience like you have never been a part of...Oh, and take a nice suit!!!

Is the holiday collectible industry lost the the fast pace society we live in?

I own a small Holiday gift shop in Wisconsin called Christmas-N-More and I'm seeing more people getting away from the history of our holiday traditions and just buying stuff with no meaning to it at all. I carry all the holiday decorations from Germany, Poland, Russian, ornaments with special sayings, hand blown and beautifully done, but it seems to me that people aren't that interested in carrying on the traditions of our fathers and where they came from. I have a web site and sometimes I even have to sell on Ebay and Gocollect to generate some sales. I'm really thinking about closing my doors. Please, let me hear from you I would like to know that I'm not the only one that loves the traditions of the holidays past.

its the fast paced throw-away society we live in. why bother storing all those unique items that will see use for one month (optimistic) out of a year when we can buy chinese and throw away? its sad to see, but people have more interest in getting through the holidays than they do enjoying them
