Was worth the subtitles to see this version after the first one (that I still don't care for--LOL!).<br />Merry Christmas!! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-76638694043726931182017-12-24T09:11:14.662-08:002017-12-24T09:11:14.662-08:00The Gogol story is such a slapstick tale really lo...The Gogol story is such a slapstick tale really lol I got a kick out of it :) Thanks!

It's not connected in any way except that both stories happen on Christmas Eve.

It's so fascinating how different cultures have different holiday ideas. I guess in communist Russia you didn't even really have much of a Christmas, or maybe you did a truly secular holiday. That is worth a look up too. Anyhow, enjoyed this and thanks for something a little different. Happy holidays. hugs-ErikaMy name is Erika.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04834435573574156495noreply@blogger.com
