The big Christmas holiday in the kindergarten

The kindergarten where my kids study is very, very big. Over 210 kids like mine study there. All these children are group in 7 groups by age.

On December 18^th in the kindergarten there's a very big Christmas holiday. It was happens in the gym of the kindergarten. All was decorate for the Christmas. All kids, teachers, assistants and some parents was there. Every group had a special place in the gym.

Well, like every Christmas holiday, the Santa went in the kindergarten

All was so excited. The kids sang a song and then it started the big concert. At first it was the dwarves.

They danced a special dance around the Santa. They helped him to make the toys ;-)

They cut, stuck, nailed up...

Then it was the little sparrows and the snowflakes. They turned round in a wild, funny dance.

After that it was the little rabbits. They jumped around the Santa and sang an amusing song.

And it was turn to the funny clowns. They amused the Santa with their dances and songs

It's winter time. It was time the snowflakes to cover the earth

Christmas in Bulgarian is KOLEDA. It's time when the young boys visit the houses and sing special songs for health, luck, love. And the householders give them sweets, fruits and ring-shaped buns. Here was our little "Koleders" in national suits

They held crooks

And finely the little angels sang a special song-prayer

You know that the Santa is very good person. He gave to the kids a lot of presents

My lil Deni also received a gift

And lil Valio too

Everybody
