Last night at "Compass" we had a little Christmas party and explained about the holiday, traditions, and meaning behind it. At one point, our teammate, Shannon, asked if the students knew who Santa Claus was. One student answered, "Yes, he's just like Father Frost but he doesn't drink". Here in Russia, they celebrate Father Frost who comes at New Years.
Leif shared the Christmas story and had one of the students read from the books of Luke and Matthew. Afterwards, we played some games and ate Christmas cookies.
A funny side note is that when I went to sit on a chair, it broke from underneath me. This is the fourth time this has happened to me in 4 months! I'm beginning to get a complex.

We also talked about Christmas in class today. In Slovenia they have all of this guys ... miklavž, božičnek and dedek mraz. But the "drinking guy" starts to disappear.
Did you gain weight in russia? ;)
Those chairs are weak man. Love,Elaine
Yeah, furniture is notoriously weak in colder climates. :o)
