Setting up for Saint Nicholas' Day
last year was pretty simple as we lived in a climate where the children had already long since been wearing their winter boots. How does one celebrate in a country where the children only wear flip flops? I considered this option:
Then I remembered that, although they have been in the closet for weeks as the rainy season has passed, the children do still have boots! So I went with a more traditional solution.
Thanks Saint Nick! Conrad and Vivienne are very happy with their treats! We enjoyed the morning and then headed off to tackle some errands, which began with a stop at the fish store. Funny how a free fish, won at a Christmas carnival the night before, turns into a 20 dollar tank and 9 fish friends to keep him company!
No fish, free or otherwise, is dying on my watch! Now we just need to remember to feed them all the time. We finished all of our shopping and headed out to enjoy some of the local Christmas decorations. With all the reports of vicious smog in Shanghai and record ice and snow in Dallas, we're happy to say that the sun is so bright today in Thailand that Conrad could have worn shades!
Elephants in Santa hats; does it get any better than that??
Hope you all are enjoying the Christmas decorations in your part of the world~
