"Red wine or white?" I was proud to be able to ask Maria, who had only been in the States a few months. That, unfortunately, was the extent of my conversational Russian, and she was my Christmas guest.
Fortunately, between dinner and dessert, we found that there are plenty of Stalin-era movie clips on YouTube. I wish you had seen her smile when we played "Ochi Chornoye," "Podmoskovniye Vechera" and "Kak mnogo devushek xhoroshik."
Christmas blessings to all of you, and especially to those of you who posted clips that made my guest smile.
