Have you been good this year? Jõuluvana knows who’s been naughty and nice! Nearly 30 members of the Estonian Society of Central Florida (Kesk Florida Eesti Selts) gathered for our annual Christmas celebration on Saturday, December 6, 2014, at the Magnuson Hotel at Marina Cove (6800 Sunshine Skyway Lane, St. Petersburg, FL; telephone: 727-867-1151). Jõuluvana (Santa) and his very musically talented Päkapikk led us in merriment. Members came prepared with songs and poems to earn their gifts. In the end, it turned out everyone was on Santa’s “nice” list and all guests went home with a holiday gift.
This annual Christmas celebration once again was organized by Maare Kuuskvere and Lisa Mets. Key contributors and collaborators were Triin Karr, Rein Raja, Kaie Põhi Latterner and Erkki Taada.
