New Year’s Eve is coming. We meet at W. Wegener Park in early December for Santa Claus to come and bring gifts to the children. A lot of people and children waited with excitement. The children were very happy with the gifts he brought. I wore a costume and became one of the elfs of Santa Claus. I had a very fun event with the surprised and curious looks of the children. We prepared games for the children and their families. It was a very crowded event. We all had a good time together. At the event I tried for the first time a local dish “Lángos” which I liked.

We organized the “Moving Afternoon” event the same week. A boxing coach came for the event and taught the children and us some moves. I did a hand activity with the children. I taught them how to make origami bookmarks in the shape of a Christmas tree. We played board games, Jenga and other games together. I like spending time with the children and playing games. I went ice skating for the first time in my life. Since this was my first time, I really had a hard time. I mostly slid by holding on to the edges. After falling a few times, I learned to stand. Maybe I’ll try again in the coming days.

December was a very active month and we organized many events. I felt both tired and happy at times. I will come back next month to tell you about the events and my life here. I’m excited for new events.
