Apparently you can teach and old dog new tricks! Who knew Bourbon (either straight or mixed with honey & hot water) is an excellent remedy for sore ribs, stuffy noses, and the "lost luggage" Christmas Blues. Amazing!
It's Christmas day and a wonderful day it is. I'm sitting in the lounge, listening to Bing Crosby singing classic Christmas carols, while looking out across the choppy river at colorful flags and icy tree branches that are blowing in the wind. The sky is patchy grey and it looks like it could start snowing at any minute. Beautiful. Merry Christmas.
It's traditional in a lot of places in Europe to have the "big" Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve versus Christmas Day... We had our big bash last night with a lovely dinner dancing and then drinking and dancing till dawn (well okay, midnight!)
Despite a series of unfortunate incidences we are having the most wonderful time. We
have met some very interesting people and perhaps made some new friends. Although we
are missing friends and family this experience has been one we will never forget not could
we ever recreate.
On this day, especially on this day we will take time to remember just how blessed we
really are.
Merry Christmas to you and your families.
Peace, M
Merry Christmas honey, thank you for taking the trip (leap of faith) with me
ReplyDeleteSounds like, in spite of the absence of your chosen and familiar clothing, you are having a great time... Some experiences seem to be, indeed, a once-in-a-life-time type of deal. Enjoy!
