Any Polish Christmas freebies?

I'd like to make a Christmas ornament for someone who is Polish, and I've searched and Googled but can't find anything on the Web. Does anyone know where I can get a freebie Polish Christmas ornament? Or a freebie of something related to Poland? Or, if that doesn't work, does anyone know of a book or chart with a small Polish design, preferably a Christmas one? Hopefully, I'd be able to find that book or chart before Christmas! Or, actually, before Thanksgiving, so I can get going on this.

Thanks for your help!

If you can find out how to say "Happy Christmas" in Polish, that would be a good start. Nice font, a few embellishments= done.

I think that the felt applique Christmas ornaments may have a Polish connection, although a Piecework article (in Nov. 1997) identified them as Hungarian in origin. A friend's daughter bought me a felt ornament while traveling in Poland.

I can't find any pictures on the web of the applique felt ornaments, but the designs are related, it seems to me, to traditional Polish paper-cutting, such as illustrated here:

are identified as Hungarian. What I had in mind was most like the star ornament or the heart one.A modern adaptation of the same theme can be seen clearly here:

thought: Isn't St. Nicholas celebrated in Poland?

do a cross stitch of St. Nicholas. There are some nice ones here:

on cross stitch, then "Old World Santa Stand ups". I have a couple of these in my stash. You could as easily make it into an ornament as a standup.) HTH!
