The Pap family lit the second candle on the Advent wreath. Everyone gets home in the evening, and they usually have dinner together. During the day, Mihály works on construction sites in and around Budapest, his wife Jutka cleans private homes, while Alex goes to school in Budafok, he is in the third grade now.
Jutka talks to her father each evening, who is left at home and lives alone in the house in Nagymuzsaly. The video conversation was interrupted by a power cut. In Transcarpathia, power cuts have become a daily occurrence.
Jutka's sister and her two daughters came to visit just before Christmas. The cousins were overwhelmed with joy when they were reunited.
The cousins chased each other all night, they were singing and dancing. The adults listened to Ukrainian and Transcarpathian Hungarian music.
Their first Christmas tree in Budapest. In time they would like to move to a more spacious, comfortable flat, but now they are happy to be together after a difficult year.
