My visit from Santa Claus a.ka. Papa Noel!


This Thursday we had "Santa Claus" come and visit at school.
It was an interesting experience considering the fact that I have never been more than 10 feet away from a Santa Claus so this was very awkward but this Santa is not so nice at all .He was very creepy he walked hunched over would not open his eyes it was really weird and scary.Of course any little kid would not think this but personally I did. I swear I am taunted forever! After we took a picture he asked us what we wanted for Christmas and I said a Ferrari but he said Santa elves do not know how to make them yet so I can't get one! But really it was just a joke!
Then Santa gave us pre Christmas gifts witch was a yo-yo! So fun to play with!

Remember to leave cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Fair

Today I dropped by the Christmas Fair by the Cathedral. My friend Lina mentioned it as the place to go if I wanted to see Catalonia Christmas trees and decorations.

She specifically mentioned el Caganer, which are basically little pooping figurines. From what I've read having one of these is supposed to bring prosperity in the new year.

I had to see for myself and boy it was more interesting than I imagined. You had a pooping Flamenco dancer, Hello Kitty, Darth Vader and even a Jesus squatting and wishing prosperity to you.

Of course I just had to buy one.

Visiting Girona, Spain

Girona is a beautiful little town rich with history. I think.. I really wish I could share more details about Girona but honestly I was working while my family enjoyed it.

Every night though I did enjoy a lovely dinner and nice long walk. Our hotel AC Hotel was beautiful and amazingly cheap due to it being off season.
