A Visit with Mikulás

Last Sunday ExxonMobil hosted a Christmas party for the XOM families. There were cookies, pretzels, hot chocolate and crafts. The main attraction was, of course, Mikulás (Hungarian Santa).

I would say that we went right away and got in line to see him except that might give you the impression that there was a line. Or any concept of "taking turns." Basically there was a big mob aroud Mikulás and we had a delay until the lady with the infant got to see Mikulás (can't push babies around). Once she moved I just pushed the kids right to the front next to Mikulás.

In Hungary, to get a treat from Mikulás you have to sing a Christmas song (another reason for the long wait). The kids did a pretty good job singing "Jingle Bells."

...which promptly got eaten
The kids really had a good time.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and to all a good time. I remember when Katie's first visit with Santa had her screaming in tears. They looked very grown up in the pictures. Love to all.
