Dede Moroz (Grandpa Frost) visits the home of the Russian priest and his family in København (that’s Copenhagen for the geographically-challenged)

It’s that time of year… we are all rushing about preparing for the holidays, so, don’t forget that Dede needs to hear from you if he is going to pay a visit.

You do wish to hear troika bells outside your house on the right day, don’t you?
