My babushka taught me how to knit. Her grandmother aften wore a colorful babushka.
She doesn't. The so-called Babushka is the product of imagination of an American poetess Edith M. Thomas who in 1907 wrote a poem Babushka: a Russian Legend. In Russia, nobody has ever heard about the gift-giving Babushka and this character doesn't exist in the Russian folklore at all. In Russia, it's Father Frost who brings gifts to children and adults on New Year's Eve. This Babushka thing is just a sick joke. She doesn't exist in Russia, period.
Yes but Father frost is another one
