Close to 50 of our au pairs gathered in the home of one of our host families in Medina this month to celebrate the season.  We heard stories of children’s shoes in the window sills, Santa Lucia, barbeques, Saint Nikolas, songs from South America and Germany, food celebrations with fish on the 24th and many other traditions celebrated in this time around the globe.  Cookies and treats were exchanged as well as information and we ended our time together with a good old fashioned US American white elephant gift exchange.

However you celebrate, APIA wishes you the very best of seasons!
