Christmas is knocking at our doors.

There is only one chocolate left in my Advent calendar. It was so nice to have something sweet for each day of December! It reminded me of my childhood, when on St. Nicolas Day I used to receive the Advent Calendar. This year I got it from my Fiancé :)

So, it’s high time to sing a Christmas song, or tell a poem, if you want. That’s me doing so at the age of three. I was a talented girl who loved singing and telling poems in front of relatives. And my parents could show off ;) I really like my dress – my Grandmother made it for me (she is a dressmaker). Look at my hairstyle! I perfectly remember when I went to hairdresser’s, with my Mum, and asked for a fringe. Having a fantastic fringe, I came back home and asked my Grandfather if he like it, and he didn’t say nothing pleasant! You can imagine how disappointed I felt!

Probably, this is why four years later I did not have my fringe ;) That’s a photo with Santa Claus of whom I was never scared. But I was always unhappy that my father is not at home when Santa comes. After the Christmas Eve supper he went outside to look for Santa Claus, and because of the fact that we had quite a big garden and a field near our house, it took him a lot of time. And he somehow missed Santa… But then, I remember one year (when I’ve already suspected my parents of buying presents) when everyone was at home, waiting for “Santa” to come and suddenly, a bell rang and… Santa came! I was shocked! It was the only time when I was slightly scared and embarrassed sitting on Santa’s knee.

I wish you many pleasant surprises during this year’s Christmas. Enjoy your time with your families! Create a special atmosphere, which, I believe, is the most important. For me, John Lennon’s “War is over” means: stop all quarrels, be kind, smile at each other! Merry Christmas everyone!

And also, I wish you a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! Oh, and have a great New Year’s Eve party :)
