Send flowersHow does Poland celebrate their Granparents's Days?
Grandma Day (PL: "Dzień Babci") and Grandpa Day (PL: "Dzień Dziadka") are very popular in Poland. Younger grandchildren prepare them handmade gifts and cards, either at school, or with the help of their parents. Hand painted cards (so called "laurki") are very popular.
Preschools and schools prepare special shows in honour of all grandparents, where grandchildren sing songs and recite poems about their amazing grandmas and grandpas. Older grandchildren - teenagers & adults - on the other hand, tend to visit their grandparents and bring them gifts, gift baskets with coffee & tea, cakes with dedication or send them cheerful bouquets of flowers with wishes in the attached card, if they are unable to pay a personal visit. On those special days, making a long call to your grandma or grandpa is seen as more respectful than just sending a text message with wishes.
