Happy Christmas Eve! Santa is coming tonight, but Julia and I already got a visit from St. Nicholas, or Sv. Mykolaj as he's known if you are Ukrainian.
The other week, we all went to the Ukrainian American Cultural Center, where the kids all put on skits about the story of Mykolaj and sang songs. Then Mykolaj arrived and gave out presents to all the kids there. Like me!
What could it be?
Why, it's a fancy ramp for my Matchbox cars with an elevator, a car wash and all sorts of other fun stuff!
Then it was Julia's turn to get her gift from Mykolaj.
What could it be?
Look, it's the special prince and princess puppets Julia had been eying! How did he know?
Our friends Alec and Isabella were there to get their gifts from Mykolaj as well!
And here's a quick video showing one of the skits, and Mykolaj's entrance.
Very nice to meet you, Mykolaj!
