I'm from a huge Polish family, and have celebrated Wigilia my whole life! As a matter of fact, I'm flying back to New York to celebrate Wigilia on the 23rd! Hay under the tablecloth, empty seat for Jesus, the whole nine. I'll be indoctrinating my new wife into the tradition this year.
Here's a little tip: the oplatek tastes like printer paper, but just grin and bear it. It's a neat way to meet every single person at the party.
And the fish, mushroom sauce, and pierogies more than make up for it.
