Santa Claus Day - in Germany

I just found out through Alice, that December 6 does not mean a thing in America, in Germany it is getting a few presents in recognition of Nicolaus who gave presents and food to the poor a long time ago. This is why Anna Theresa and I dressed up as Santa Clauses for today. It was a lot of fun. I wore red pants and a white shirt and I bought myself a Santa Claus hat... (it was only 50 cents, so this is not bad at all). It was so much fun to walk around like that for the entire day. People started smiling because of it. No one told me to take it off, even though it actually isn't allowed to wear hats in school. When we met Mr. Peiker in the hallway a few hours after our German lesson, he stopped and asked if he could try one of our hats, just to feel what it is like. He looked at himself in the glass door (right by the Mensa) to see how it looks on him. It actually looked really good. Mr. Schätzle walked up to us (after we continually wore it for three hours) and said that he initially "thought" we had a bad hair day :) So all in all it was really funny and enjoyable. When I went to my violin lesson I still didn't take it off and so the little girl who opened thought Santa Claus had come and unfortunately I had left my present at home. It would have been great to be able to have a present...
The rest of my day was pretty regular: Teaching, practicing ("only" for one and a half hours) and then I watched a movie... now I am going to learn some English for the test I have to take tomorrow. I hope everything will work out. I am a little scared, because I fear that I will mess up and I want to do good.
Oh yeah, tomorrow right after my English test I will practice with a teacher for the Christmas concert Thursday in a week. I hope everything will go allright...
