I'm Dreaming of a Whiiite Christmas....

Merry Christmas everyone! So now that it is four days after Christmas I think it's time to make a Christmas post, right?

We made the newspaper!

On the 24th my mom and host brother and I went to a friends house for Coffee time at three. Right away the father there was like "You are decended from the Irish aren't you?" and then he said I was tall. First ever time I have been called tall (: Wohhooo! After Coffee we went to a tiny church where a Nativity play was going on. It was very cute and reminded me of back when I used to be an angel in those.

The church was full so we got to watch from the top.

When that had finished we went home and made dinner - chicken, potatoes, and broccoli - and opened presents. All in all I would say it was a pretty good christmas! The next morning we had brunch at our house and a lot of people came over. I ate SO MUCH over the course of those days, it was ridiculous! I got to skype with my entire family after that, it was so nice to see everyone (all eleven of them) in one place, even if I couldn't be there in person. My christmas package to them had arrived in time so that was good (:

Yesterday Rebekah finally brought me to the Berlin Wall, something she'd been saying we gotta do since I arrived. She leaves in a week so I am happy we got around to doing that finally!


Last night I got my package from my parents - cheetos, pie flavored gum, thai noodles, brownie mix, fritos, pop rocks, a pair of earrings (: We got a letter from the Deutsche Post saying I needed to go pick it up from somewhere. I looked up it on google maps and was like "right, I can DO this!" I rode my bike to the address but somehow ended up in a semi truck parking yard thing, very sketchy in my opinion. But, I biked all the way there and I wasn't leaving without my package! I tried to ask some people for directions but found out they only spoke Polish. My mom helped find it later that day after we called for better directions. And now I have my package! Yay!
