Christmas party.
What was going to be a large Christmas party turned into a small party because many of the invitees came without their spouse so instead of 20 people we ended up with just nine. Of course, I had bought enough food and pastries for 20 so now we have an abundance of cheese, sausage and pastries left over for this week to consume. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I would rather have had the 20 people.
To make room for all the expected guests I actually moved the Christmas tree from the living room to the dining room but in the end it wasn't necessary. We started at 8PM and by 12:30AM the last guest had left. We spent the next hour cleaning up and putting things away.
Co to będzie duży Christmas party zamienił się w małej partii, ponieważ wielu z zaproszonych przybyli bez współmałżonka więc zamiast 20 osób znaleźliśmy się zaledwie dziewięć. Oczywiście, że kupił wystarczającą ilość pożywienia i wypieki na 20, więc teraz mamy mnóstwo sera, wędliny i ciasta pozostały w tym tygodniu do konsumpcji. To nie jest koniecznie złą rzeczą, ale wolałbym mieć 20 osób.
Aby zrobić miejsce dla wszystkich gości oczekuje I rzeczywiście przeniósł się choinki z salonu z jadalnią, ale w końcu nie było konieczne. Zaczęliśmy o 8 wieczorem i 00:30 do ostatniego gościa już nie było. Spędziliśmy następną godzinę oczyszczenie i oddanie rzeczy od hotelu.

I'm sure everyone had a great time, but what a disappointment for you and Joan. Do you know why so many came without spouses? Some type of miscommunication?
Yes, they were afraid they would have to speak English.
If I run a party at home I request a RSVP for those attending. Is the same protocal used in Poland?
People tend to be uncomfortable using a language they are not fluent in. The evening tends to get long and the conversation very supperficial. I speak Polish but my spouse does not. If I want to meet with friends who only speak Polish I go by myself.
It is Ann, unfortunately not all adhere to it.
I agree about the language but when you have both languages being spoken I don't see why not attend.
