If you’re in Poland, you celebrate “Doughnut Day” on Fat Thursday, the last Thursday before Lent. In the U.S., especially in areas with higher Polish populations (Chicago, Buffalo and Detroit, for example) you’re gorging on Paçzki on Fat Tuesday (like, right now).

An “augmented” traditional artificial Christmas tree designed to remind celebrants who the holiday’s all about (for $199.99).
