So now it has been Christmas, my favorite time of the year. I had a lovely Christmas before I got sick, and I got some very nice presents. Over here you don't celebrate little Christmas eve on the 23th December, but Christmas eve day (the 24th) was interesting. We were going to Bumba and Granny's for Christmas eve (My host dad's parents), so the preparation was non-existing. Therefore my host mom, why don't we then do something else? Just to give an example: Color our hair. Nothing dramatic though, just some pink stripes. Yes! Pink! Who would have thought I would think of doing such a thing?
Christmas eve was really nice and quiet. We were celebrating it early this year, because some relatives were leaving that evening. So it was more likely Christmas noon, than Christmas eve.
Our Christmas decorations were very American, but very pretty. Even though they are still up, New Year is coming up, and I'm very much looking forward to it. Here are some of them:

Merry Christmas to you all!
