Christmas in Hungary

Next week, I'll post a picture of the Christmas tree that is up in our school. Yes, a CHRISTMAS TREE in a public high school! In fact, on December 20th, we'll be having the annual SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PARTY, which involves classes and teachers performing various funny, serious, dramatic and vocal skits, songs, scenes, and choruses! Yes, people sing and talk about Jesus! Yes, I'll be singing a song I wrote this summer which clearly talks about God's love.

You see, as I've blogged in year's past, here in Europe, they separate Santa and Jesus. In fact, tomorrow is Mikulas Day here in Hungary...i.e. Santa Claus day, and children get chocolates and small gifts from Santa. The one who brings the presents on December 24th? You guessed it: Jesus!
