Blessed John Paul II loved the Christmas season. Guests in
the papal apartment during his pontificate found the seasonal
decorations up early in Advent; and, following Polish custom, they
stayed up until Feb. 2, the feast of the Presentation of the Lord.
The Christmas meal was traditionally Polish. Every year, John Paul
would call his lay friends in Cracow, all assembled in one
apartment, and they would sing Polish carols together for hours,
over the phone.
