Warning heavy data article. Lots of videos and bigger files at that:
Ded Moroz and Snegurochka (Who they are is below at end of article.) met many of our kids in the complex and gave out treats and gifts. What a happy bunch of little tykes…
Sorry the server seems to be very slow lately, but it is safer on our server and they (bad people) will not be able to remove it easily. YouTube is destroying too many videos lately….We have to use what we can to get the info out…
Then I caught Ded Moroz and Snegurochka running home after doing their job. They ran to the building across the way and I guess that is their home. Never knew that Ded Moroz and Snegurochka live in our complex? 😉
Then as I walked this morning I found my favorite light worms, as I call them. They were crawling around a tree and I just love them…
Russian Christmas is almost here…
Ded Moroz and Snegurochka are:
Ded Moroz is accompanied by Snegurochka (Russian: Снегурочка, «Snow Maiden»), his granddaughter and helper, who wears long silver-blue robes and a furry cap or a snowflake-like crown. She is a unique attribute of Ded Moroz, since similar characters in other cultures don’t have a female companion.

Now you might have learned something new?
Went and picked up some food for making Svetochka a special New Years dinner. No it is a surprise for her and since she reads this blog, no info to keep it a surprise…
Globus was packed and being wiped out of stock. Yesterday when I was there in the morning, it was crammed pack full and I mean isles even full down the middle of stock. Employees running around like chickens with their heads cut off and this morning; it was worse except everyone and their brothers were buying the scraps. The employees looked like they have been beat with a silly stick and just wished everyone would go home…
Fork lifts actually running around the store dropping off pallets of stock and the back stock room was almost empty & ten trucks outside waiting to unload. It truly was a madhouse and is conductive of the state of affairs in the Russian economy. Going gangbusters and not slowing down…
Stores all along my walk are open very early and they still cannot keep up. Russians are notorious for waiting until the last minute to do Christmas shopping and it shows today…
That is enough for today…
