Mrs. Clause and Santa arrive at the school with their ’sleigh’ in tow. We are greated warmly by all the children. Then there is a bit of welcoming. Notice all the decorations, handmade by the children. The Santa faces and if you look closely you can see all their little ‘jingerbread’ houses made out of the Lao version of the soda craker. The kids entertained us by playing vareous Christmas songs by watching their teacher who had color coded the musical instrament. At one point all the kids sang us some Christmas songs. Then it was time for presents. Santa handed each one there special present which the parents had helped Santa to obtain. Then Santa gives Margo (our former Thai missionary who translates for us at the Branch - she is a teacher at the school) a big hug while Mrs. Clause stands by. Then it is one more photo op and Santa rushes off to his next assignment.
