What are your associations regarding Christmas?
The first association are happiness and joy. Christmas is the time to take a rest for a while, not only physically, but also mentally, from the everyday life.
How public holidays look like in Serbia?
They differ a bit from Polish holidays. We celebrate Christmas on different date – in early January. Christmas is one of the most important holidays for us. We spend it with our loved ones, with family and friends.
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
I used to believe in Santa Claus until i was fourteen. I think it’s very good for a kid to have such beliefs. So I think that parents should reveal the truth when their children are about to turn 15-16, so they can feel the unique thrill of receiving Christmas gifts as long as possible.
How would you compare the popularity of Christmas with the celebration of the New Year?
In Serbia, the New Year is more popular than Christmas. For us, this is a great opportunity to celebrate, going out with friends and spend a nice time together. The nature of this two hollidays is different – Christmas is more festive and New Year is more about celebrating.
What is your dream gift?
The most important for me is my health and my family. If this is true, anything else doesn’t count.
Will you be at home during the holidays?
Yes, of course. I got 3 days off in the club. Fortunately, I’ll spend the holidays with my parents. I can not wait for that moment to come.
What are your wishes for the coming New Year?
First of all, good health, happiness, good matches in the jersey of PGE Skra Belchatow and the Serbian national team, and Polish Championship title, of course.
