Christmas is probably my favorite time of the year. I just love everything about it. I start the preparation long before.. thinking about the best presents, listening to little hints, finding the right presents without any compromise. I love decorating the house and the tree, wrapping the gifts, putting together the menus, listening to Christmas songs.
In Europe I loved the cold, snowy, white winters, the outdoor Christmas fairs, drinking mulled wine on the ice-skating rink. Here I love that we decorate the Christmas tree early so we can enjoy it for weeks and that because it is hot and sunny we don't eat that much.

This year Christmas was about Isabelle, celebrating the joy of family life and finding our own family traditions. We had Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve (as we do in Hungary) but opened the presents in the morning on Christmas day (as they do in Scotland). It was cold and raining cats and dogs all Christmas day but it was just perfect for spending the whole day snuggling up in Isabelle's new teepee. Talking to both of our families on skype made this day even more special. x
