Christmas past

Holidays are over, which right now means so is my vacation from posting here. Who knew two weeks could be so short.

It was a wonderful two weeks though. Lots of time spent with family and friends, all very relaxing. We put the tree up as a family, something I've missed out on the last few years with exams going later. As usual my family worked through the regime of board games at home, including a couple new ones we kids gave our parents for Christmas. My success rate was rather low, but I did take Scrabble, Yatzee and most of the Settlers games we played. To be fair, I was teaching them Settlers...

I also have a good friend who has decided to move to Edmonton, so this break was my last chance to see him for the near future. Don't worry, it wasn't one of those emotional goodbyes; we both know that MSN was our primary mode of communication over the previous 200km distance. It should be just as effective over 4000. And since, according to said friend, I don't have a soul, I shouldn't have to worry about missing him or anything like that. All joking aside, it will be very different not to see him regularly, but now I have an excuse to go to Edmonton!

Well, besides all the good food and good singing and good weather (that's a lie) that's about what happened on my Christmas break.
