While here, I've been inside Russian orthodox churches, a Buddhist temple, and the LDS branch. But then there's some people, like my host family, who are atheist. So I can't really tell you who believes in Jesus Christ and who doesn't. <br /><br />As far as celebrating Christmas goes, "Father Christmas" is said to live in Finland, which borders us. They are very festive here and have tons of Christmas decorations in the stores. Lights and decorations are hung up out on the streets to. My host families haven't decorated for Christmas yet, but I'm sure that they celebrate it like most people do with a Christmas tree. :)Maegan https://www.blogger.com/profile/15977807269320765030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765728630249896635.post-8541186330955858302013-11-30T20:31:42.467-08:002013-11-30T20:31:42.467-08:00Dear Maegan, you mentioned buying some Christmas D...Dear Maegan, you mentioned buying some Christmas Decorations at a market in a hotel. Do the Russian people celebrate Christmas with a Christmas tree and believe in the birth of Jesus Christ? Did you and the girls have a nice Thanksgiving meal? Were you able to make stuffing from scratch. Grandpa and I stayed at home this year and had a nice pot roast meal. Love, Grandma RogersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549154620510503813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765728630249896635.post-90476646439514192582013-11-24T07:54:10.114-08:002013-11-24T07:54:10.114-08:00Ahhh......what a great thing to wake up to today! ...Ahhh......what a great thing to wake up to today!
