President Karol Nawrocki posted a short entry on X about preparations for Christmas. “The Christmas tree won’t bring itself,” he wrote, attaching a video showing him choosing a tree together with his son, cutting it down himself, and then carrying it into the Presidential Palace.
This is a scene never before seen at the Presidential Palace. President Karol Nawrocki did not limit himself to the symbolic placement of a holiday tree – he took matters into his own hands. The published footage shows him selecting a Christmas tree, cutting it down with his own hands, and then carrying it into the interiors of the Presidential Palace.
The video spread rapidly online, becoming one of the most widely commented pre-Christmas posts. It also shows that even in the most official place in the country, Christmas begins in the same way as it does in many Polish homes.
