Christmas!
Christmas today! We all woke up late because we had opened presents and stuff last night. We didn't go to church because Thomas and Karin were preparing for guests to come over this afternoon. We had lunch with Laura and Julian's Oma and Opa again today. After Lunch Julian and I had a NERF battle which was very fun. Later Thomas' extended family and Klett family friends came over for afternoon tea. We ate Christmas biscuits, Lebkuchen, and cake and we drank Kinderpunsch and water because it was very warm. It felt like spring! So much for a white Christmas. It is interesting that what Australian's do over 3 days the Germans do in 2, In Australia on Christmas Eve, there is carol singing, Christmas day is presents and imediate family, and often Boxing Day is with extended family. Here in Germany, carols and presents are in the evening of Christmas Eve, and on Christmas day it is with the whole extended family.
