Kolęda - during winter months in Poland, just after Christmas and even after New Years you can be visited by a group of wandering carolers (kolędnicy) who go door to door, singing christmas carols and pastorałki , wishing health and good fortune for the occupants of the house (in exchange of small fee of money or something good to eat). The characters seen in the group vary depending on the region of Poland, but most of the time we can meet - a Death, a Devil, an Angel, an Old man (dziad) or old woman (baba), someone could see a King, a bearer of the colourful star that make them more visble, but almost always you will meet Turoń - a bovine like creature with large mouth and horns, opening and closing it's mouth threathningly. Then again, it's also a custom in other eastern european countries so the lineup may be different. These ones look friendly, right? Why don't you let them in?

ha! I wondered where it was from. Since I found the Russian word for "work" sounds similar to robot. It is from a Czech scifi writer Karel Čapek.
