It was fun decorating our little apartment for Christmas. This nativity was sent by Alison last year in our Christmas box that made it Choibalsan in February, so it was new this year!
Alan found a little fake Christmas tree on our balcony. He repaired the stand and there were even some decorations for it.
with the snowflakes with the kids' pictures on them, the tree turned out very cute.
Street vendors popped up everywhere selling Christmas things--which is pretty interesting considering this is not a Christian nation. Mostly the stuff was Santa and winter things, but still they celebrate
the commercial part of Christmas. We bought a Russian Santa from this vendor!
The streets were pretty crowded. This is Zax and the boxes are filled with cake! It's a big deal
here to have cake for the holidays. We bought one and took it out to Erdenchimeg's for dinner.
And here's Santa himself--the American Santa anyway. The Russian Santa
always wears blue and not red!
