So Today is Christmas Eve's eve... and if I were at home I would be wishing you all a merry Christmas Eve's eve... But I am here.. And Christmas Eve seems to not be such a big deal... And since I'm in a house full of young children Christmas itself isn't such a big deal I think.. Because when,at home they would be excited about Santa Claus.. here they have already celebrated the arrival of Sinter Klaas.. So they wont be waiting for Santa... And instead of doing Christmas Eve... they have second Christmas Day.. Which is the 26th... I dunno what that's all about yet, really...
I'm doing my very best to make it feel like Christmas.. with all the music and everything.. But it just isn't quite there.. They just don't seem to celebrate it the same way we do in the states... Also since it's not going to be spent with MY family.. it makes it harder.. But I will be happy to celebrate it with Martine's family.. And the kids.. They are my family right now.. Then I will go spend the weekend with Tess.. maybe we can feel a little more Christmasy!
Well sheesh.. Nothing exciting today again.. Though I did make a rather tasty dinner I must say! I made a lovely white fish, with cous cous and some peppers I cooked in the oven... very nice!
Ok that's all! Fijn Keerst Dag!
