Silly Adventage of Living in International Community: Gifts Giving

Oh, are there any? It seems to be like such a huge mess, you know, all that cultural differences. But hold on a sec...

Growing up in Poland I believed Santa brings gifts first on 6th of December (usually small ones, candies and tangerines, and those chocolate Santas), and then on 24th bigger ones. Hah, I lost my life not being a child of mixed, Polish-Spanish couple! Why? Because... Hum...

I woke up this morning completely unaware. Well, it was obvious that Jorge had prepared something special for us, but nobody knew what exactly it was. After my morning yoga and meditation I dressed up and got out of the room. The first thought was 'why would I left my slippers on the middle of the corridor?...' but ignoring how weird it was, I put them on and moved to the kitchen to get some breakfast. Then after some time Jorge came out and asked if I went to the saloon, but well... have I ever went to the saloon in the morning?... Nope.

And did you notice something weird about your slippers?
Yes!

So laughing, I run into the saloon, and looked around confused. And here it was!


Three Wise Men visited even us, could it be because our Spanish friend was so kind and good people, they didn't mind to make some extra kilometres to visit our little, cosy apartment?

It's just two ways of gifting other people, but there's as many, as countries and religions. Please, let us know under, what are yours, how do you celebrate? Hanukkah? Ramadan? Any others we have no idea about? Just write down in the comment!

Love,
Agnes

P.S.
