Christmas is almost over (except at our place where due to the extended family we are Christmassing until Dec 29 or so usually :-)).
Sadly my sisters’ exams start early this year so they are leaving today. Our house will be so quiet 🙁 And I’ll have to start studying for my second bar exam as well, so I’m not happy at all that Christmas has gone so quickly. *sighs* At least I’ll have our beautiful tree up until the end of January, as it’s usually my task to take it down and put away all the ornaments and decorations. And you know what is my special traditions? I organize a Christmas un-decorating party! I invite a bunch of friends over, we listen to Christmas songs, drink eggnog, we relish the festive atmosphere in late January/early February and take down all the Christmas decorations together. I have been doing this for the past couple of years and it’s always a lot of fun and makes it a bit less sad to see the house so bare once again.
But tell me how were your holidays? Did you get some wonderful presents? Books or something else you’ve been wishing for?
