Here in Budapest Mikulas, the Hungarian version of Santa Claus, comes to visit December 5-6. My host parents left me a basket of goodies from Mikulas and a note saying "Kelsey! Itt volt a Mikulas!" (Kelsey! Mikulas was here!- my host dad is the artist responsible for the Santa you see), as well as a chocolate Santa in my shoe. The typical treats from Mikulas include chocolates, oranges, peanuts and gingerbread cookies.Last weekend I went to two of Europe's famous Christmas markets. Our intention was to actually do some shopping but somehow we were distracted by the hot wine and these circular sweet bread thingies. We walked around for awhile in the cooooooooold and Monika and I bought nylons so I can finally wear my skirts. LOL.
