Christmas
Nice Advent calenders online:
Last thursday, Santa Claus climbed down from the 22nd floor of a building in landmark square with much fanfare and music. We stood out in freezing cold in front of the Ferguson library watching Santa come down. Then we all (actually, mostly a procession of kids) followed Santa in a processon to the Latham park where important looking people thanked the bank for sponsoring the Christmas tree, the bank manager thanked the crowd, singers sang Christmas carol and we had free hot chocolate. Then the christmas tree was lit. We again jumped over puddles formed by the melting ice to get back on the road.
