Gift Boxes: Bow

Russian Immigrant Dept: Two large gift boxes have arrived at the door, wrapped with a colorful bow, according to The Star. Their grateful mother, a recently arrived Russian immigrant, wants to offer something in return, because giving is as joyful as receiving and old European hospitality demands that kind of exchange, for politesse and pride and the children s eyes grow as big and shiny as loonies. Santa has not forgotten them. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
