"With every Christmas card I write, may your days be merry and bright."
Tomorrow is the last day of this short visit, but I'm making the most of it. I baked with my eldest cousin, and the whole family fell in love with our brownies. We made a lot, but they won't last the day, I'm afraid. This morning we woke up early to open the gifts (I'll post pictures of mine, I loved them all), and then we sang xmas carols out loud. We had a big lunch, and my uncle got me drinking three different kinds of wine, and a glass of porto (a protoguese liquor, very tasty) with the dessert. After that I fell asleep and slept like a log until 6 pm, when my aunt threw me out of bed. I only drink once a year for xmas, and alcohol makes me sleepy, it was to be expected. My uncle found it incredibly amusing. :D
There was this funny accident, when I was washing my hands in the bathroom and a spider fell from the ceiling right on the sink. I squealed and ran to the kitchen, and screamed there was a huge spider in the bathroom. My cousin immediately grabbed his rifle (it's the kind that shoots plastic bullets, for competitions and the like) and with this serious face he marched into the bathroom shouting "let me at it!". I stopped dead on my tracks and laughed so much I almost fell over. XD
Other than that, we played cards, and I did good, considering my uncle and his mom are great players, I'm having lots of wonderful conversations about our favourite books with my eldest cousin, and we both planned our weddings even if neither of us are engaged or are actually planning to even get married. I even picked the band. :D
I hope you're all having a wonderful time! \o/
