24.12.14 .. more commonly referred to as Christmas in my neck of the woods.
Even though it was a very un-Muslim-like-eve the spirit was there thanks to Hanife, and with a bit of arm-twisting I ended up having lovely conversations with a range of relatives across the globe: Sweden, England, and New Zealand.
And thanks to my lovely cousin Anna we had a present - a big box of chocolates. Which I proceeded to devour (well half of it) by myself, resulting in feeling hyper until 2am when I went to bed... and played games until 4am when sleep beckoned.
4pm the next day I finally got up and here we are :)
Have a great Xmas and New Years!
