Finally I’m getting around to updating everyone on my adventures over Christmas break! Lucky for me, my Uncle and his family live on an American army base in Germany so I was able to spend the Christmas holidays with them. Every day we explored a different place, and I’m already looking forward to going back for Erin’s graduation in June. It will be nice to see Germany when there’s sun. It was so nice to spend Christmas with family. We went to Church on the base for Christmas Eve service. Afterwards we went home, enjoyed gluwhein and some delicious treats, and then opened Christmas presents. On Christmas Day we had a delicious Christmas dinner with friends of Aunt Cindy and Uncle Dave and then watched “A Christmas Story.” Everyone enjoyed when I told them about our family’s Christmas tradition for the past two years, where we go out for Chinese on Christmas Eve. The story is particularly entertaining right after watching “A Christmas Story.”
It was very nice to spend Christmas in Germany near the army base, because I got the best of both worlds. I got to try all sorts of cool things about German culture, and on the army base they sell all things American. Which means peanut butter. Oh how I have missed peanut butter. My mom tried to include it in a package she sent me, but unfortunately the package was held up in Spanish customs and since I was never able to resolve the issue, it should be en route back to the US. At Uncle Dave and Aunt Cindy’s I think I ate my weight in peanut butter fudge, and started every morning with a bowl of peanut butter captain crunch. They even bought me a jar of peanut butter to bring back in my suitcase to Spain. Unfortunately since I had no checked baggage, I had to bring it in my carry-on. And as it is a cream, it violates the liquid rules for carry-on luggage, so it was confiscated. Foiled again. But overall, it was a great visit. More updates to come!
