good times

How is it that a place cold enough to have White Easters can’t get it together in time to provide us with a White Christmas?  At least it’s not a rainy one either.

Currently spending Christmas with the German’s parents near Stuttgart.  I fully support the practice of opening gifts on the evening of the 24th – none of this waiting overnight nonsense.  Although disappointing that this year we will not be able to make the post-Christmas pilgrimage to Metzingen, home of Hugo Boss, endless outlets, and the largest Chinese population in Germany at any given time.  But traveling to Paris for new years with my favorite cousin should help make up for that. 

Wishing you all a happy holiday!
