A Very Happy Christmas Indeed
Despite all my travels, I have still somehow managed to get home to Canada every Christmas. Boyfriends, though, usually expect a sharing of the holiday time between the two families, so we decided to spend this Christmas with his family. To be honest, I was feeling rather anxious about Christmas at the Webers; not because we don't get along, but more because traditions differ and I was feeling a bit homesick.
It turned out that, when we arrived we had little time to wallow; it was a fun-filled week of game-playing, walk-taking, eating, visiting, cappucino-drinking, eating, and present-unwrapping! We had a chance to catch up with a number of friends, including Andre and Melanie who announced their own wedding date as we discussed the plans we are all making. Carla, Riccardo's mom, went out of her way to spoil us, and wouldn't even let us help with dishes! We even had a little snow on Christmas even and Boxing day! Such merriness will definitely be remembered (and help to put homesickness easily to rest) the next time we Christmas in Germany!

Of course, thanks again to the Webers for all the gifts, to Carla for spoiling us rotten, and to Sylvie for her fabulous cookies. It was magical! xxx
