Hungarian Santa celebrations

That time of the year again, when Santa comes for little Hungarian boys. Boys were really waiting, though Bobin was a bit ill, and still needs to understand the traditions as much as Benji does, but he still was there with the shoe shining. Whatsmore of course they had to argue about that as well, and about who is holding the spray, which side of the window their boot wll go...etc etc etc.
So last minute had to send Richard to snap two little stick of the tree to put them in their boot as "whips" so they know they have been naughty not just good. (this is also a hungarian tradition, not being sadistic..)
Santa arrived while they were in the bath again - just missed Him again! - so they run in all naked, quickly jumped to the window checking their boots. I can only hope no neighbours were watching at this point, otherwise God knows what they think of us seeing two naked little boys in the window shaking two wellies for chocolates...
The day after the Birmingham Hungarian community organised a proper Santa celebration, like in my childhood, on the stage with a santa, calling every children's personally, singing together, having a little craft corner, everyone taking in food. It was really good, especially that they heard other people talking Hungarian too. Though quite sad, that while Santa was on the stage, someone stole 80£ out of his pocket in the dressing room. Stealing from Santa?! that person didn't have a childhood for sure...
