we in Belarus as well as your offensive of the new customs union is considered a traditional holiday and it is customary to meet it very well ..
and we also have the same stereotypes about the wife's mother, which very often they do not like :)
Thank you for this story, which was a long time :) I read with pleasure
I congratulate you on the coming New Year and wish you a very good and happy holiday. And most importantly all the best to you and your family.
I hope that you and your family have a very good new year also!
