St. Nicholas´ Day

.....since it is quite hard to remember german traditions here in Kazakhstan, cause only a few people care about, I nearly forgot St. Nicholas´ Day.

Thanks to "Interfood", (which is an exact Kazakh-Copy of your former"Intershop" my dearest eastern-german /former GdR friends), I found those typical "Riegelein Santas" loitering between imported german flower soil and horribly overpriced Dallmayr coffee.

While I chose the german product line of S. Nicholas´ Gimmicks, Marion opted for the Kazakh way.

In comparison I failed miserably. While German Nicholas looks slightly moronic his Kazakh counterpart is better dressed by far.
