De Robertson's Russian Christmas in Kiwiland


Christmas in Auckland with Ian, Olga, Jack and numerous Russian family was an experience with plenty of food and copious quantities of L K Hole.
Father Christmas(alias Sasha) gave out the presents ably assisted by Merry Christmas (alias Tania). Before receiving your present you had to stand on a chair and recite a poem or sing a song to the accompaniment of much mirth.




Although it rained heavy at times during the afternoon much enjoyment was had by all.




















Ian even had his haircut especially for the occasion.

This last photo shows Segei and Tanya. Sergei lived with Evan and Sally for 6 months when he first came to New Zealand from Sakhalin Island (the far East of Russia) in 1993.
