2nd Annual Summer Christmas

The tree is decorated and the nativity sits prominently on the mantle, but there is something about swimsuits and 90 degree weather that make it difficult to get into the "Spirit of Christmas". Although Argentines do not decorate their homes until Virgin Mary Day on Monday, we have proudly displayed our "gringoness" by decorating a week early.

Santa made a very special visit to the End-of-the-Year party for Abe's class on Monday. However, Abe would like you to know that this is not the real Santa.  The real Santa can speak all of the languages, not just Spanish.

On Tuesday, which was his final day, many of the moms took the class to Burger King for lunch and then headed to a special Christmas theatrical show at Alparamis.  Apparently, Alpapramis began as a nursery selling plants and has evolved into a Christmas store year-round.  It is a beautiful shop in a Swiss Chalet building across from the Presidental Palace.  Even Sophia loved the lights and music of the show.  Peyton was terrified of Santa and would not even sit on a small chair next to a Christmas tree about 3 feet away.  Toting 3 children in a holiday store filled with toys and fraginle ornaments mde it impossible to take a photo of my own.

Wow! You are daring to do all of that with 3 kiddos!

My brother fells the same as you . . . they live in Panama and say it is really hard when all you do is wear shorts year round and it is hot to get into the Holiday spirit!

Good luck . . . play some music and throw down some "fake" snow! Maybe it will feel a little bit more like the holidays!
