Have you been good this year? Jõuluvana (Santa) knew who’s been naughty and nice! Forty members of the Estonian Society of Central Florida (Kesk Florida Eesti Selts) hosted our Christmas celebration on Sunday, December 13, 2015, at the Magnuson Hotel at Marina Cove (6800 Sunshine Skyway Lane, St. Petersburg, FL; telephone: 727-867-1151). Jõuluvana and his very musically talented Päkapikk (Elf) led us in merriment. Members came prepared with songs, poems and other entertainment to earn their gifts.
