We expect you’ve wondered all weekend as to whether we, as honourary Hungarians actually had a visit from Szent Miklós on Friday night ……..
…….. well, we did and we feel truly blessed in a Hungarian Hello magazine type way ……
…… and I think said Szent Miklós was pretty pleased with us as he left us quite an assortment of goodies.
He did however leave us three small "virgacs", but Kata explained that she thought that they were more of a symbolic gesture and a hint to keep up our exemplary efforts rather than any reflection of our behaviour.
Nigel is now is very keen to follow other Hungarian festive traditions, after Kata told us about the Angel who comes on Christmas Eve leaving a tree with presents under it from Jesus.
I have had to put my foot down, as I think we have done more than enough hedging for one Christmas …….
……. but I am sure Kata wouldn’t mind him popping round on the big day for five minutes just to see how if the Angel has been.

Kata - Boldoggá tettél egy nagyon kicsi majmot.
