It has been a fun month of December with starting new family traditions, giving, and learning about the true meaning of Christmas.  We planned a lot of events this month to help her  recognize the spirit of Christmas, and all of it payed off. On the night of Christmas Eve we made peanut butter cookies, and left a plate of them along with one Yablaka(Apple) for St. Nicolai. When Christmas morning approached, I filmed her getting out of bed to following her into the front room to capture her expressions. She was just amazed of what Santa left for her almost to the point that she didn't want to accept the gifts. We had to prompt her to open the rest as she wanted us to have them instead. When all of her presents were unwrapped, she went into her room, grabbed her altoid tin full of Coins, and proceeded to give everyone who was there a quarter. After everything said and done, Sashi told us that she wanted to hug Santa.
