MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!


Even for those who don't like Christmas and are forced to celebrate it, those who have a hard time during Christmas, those who don't celebrate it at all etc. etc. I'm just hoping that every one of you can find their own, comfortable way to get through the Holidays.

Speaking for myself, I don't like Christmas that much. It feels a little overrated to me. Maybe because I don't spend my Christmases as I would like them to spend and I always feel a little lonely. We don't have a big family with whom we get together and have a great time with and we don't dress up for a fancy dinner or Christmas party.

Despite the fact that my Christmases aren't as 'perfect' as I would like them to be, I try to make the best of it, enjoy the yummy food, playing some games (which obviously I will win) and listen to some music. Oh, and later this day I have to work, so I can provide people of a fancy dinner. Ah well, there has to be a difference right? haha.


Breakfast is served!

Talking about food... Let's start the 1st day of Christmas with some Christmassy buns.

Actually, every Sunday we eat hot buns for breakfast with the family. We have been doing that since my siblings and I were little, so it isn't that special for me anymore. However, we don't eat these Christmassy buns every Sunday;)

After we eat, we play games

I love to play games, since I'm a very competitive girl. It doesn't really matter what kind of game I'm playing, I - need - to - win!

So there is this old-fashioned game that the Dutchies call 'sjoelen'. We mostly play this game during Christmas or other Holidays and I can tell you, it's so much fun!

So the thing you have to do is shove those discs over the wooden board in those holes. As you can see the left hole is worth 2 points per disc. But if you succeed shove 1 disc in every hole, then you earned 20 points (when you get 2 discs in every hole, you earned 40 points etc.).

It was a madhouse this afternoon. My mother also is a very competitive person, so I had to let her win... Haha just kidding! She was the real winner today.


Christmas dinner

And to end this day we ate this lovely dinner. Baked potatoes, chicory with a yogurt dressing and pork tenderloin with mushrooms. As you can probably imagine, my stomach was hurting afterwards...

For dessert we had this German treat called 'Herrenspeise'. Once in a while, my stepfather makes this and it's freaking delicious! Maybe because there is a little rum in it, and chocolate... Ugh, I'm craving for it again.


So this was a little impression of my first day of Christmas. I hope you guys also enjoyed yourself and did whatever you like to do during those days!

Oh and before I forget. A lot of love from me and my Christmas kitty:D
