New Year 2007 Celebration - Part 2

Santa's job was a tough one. First of all you have to remember that Santa lives on a North Pole where it is really cold and so when he visited us he was literally melting from the heat. Nonetheless, Santa was able to bear all the hardships and entertain us.

Santa has read the many letters and "telegrams" that he received from people in the room. Then he listened as the kids sang and danced and made sure they behaved themselves the previous year otherwise they'd receive no gifts. Fortunately, everyone behaved so received the gifts.

After gifts were given away, Santa decided to test everyone's intellectual capacity (which by this time may have been somewhat dampened by drinks) by asking riddles. Now this is where it became really fun. For correct answers Santa was giving away little presents - chocolate, fireworks and
"Magic chestnuts".

It is said that there is an oak growing on a North Pole, a magic oak that is. It's fruits are chestnuts - magic chestnuts. Should someone make a wish and eat a chestnut the wish would come true.

NOTE: Basically magic chestnuts are like Chinese fortune cookies, there is a tiny piece of paper inside the nut with a fortune written on it. To tell you the truth - they are a pain in the butt to make.

Well, as you can see from the pictures below, people were having fun during this whole show and that was my main point - make this New Year celebration something memorable, something that would be great to talk about and recall a year later.

After getting everything done, Santa decided that it was time to continue his duties elsewhere because he was melting like butter in the oven and so, at this point he departed but the party continued...

Check out the pictures below to see what was happening.
