Sami Claus comes to the Hof

As it was Saint Nicholas's Day on the 6th, the annual Sami Claus visit to the Hof was tonight accompanied by Schmutzli his 'dirty little helper' and their two donkeys. After a very long speech from Santa and the donkeys getting restless, kids getting frozen, and adults getting pissed on Gluhwein, Sami Claus handed over the usual heavy muslin bags of nuts, chocs and tangerines. Then back to a neighbour's (downstairs from us) who hosted a children's party with traditional German games. All good festive fun!
