Christmas in 2016 Christmas in 2016 The last Christmas was our 8th spending together with my husband in happiness. It was nice but it could have been better if we hadn’t had to go to an engagement party. I’m not saying that I didn’t have a good time there but my husband and I like to keep to ourselves, especially at Christmas. Christmas is a special holiday, full of love, happiness and hugging in front of the TV watching silly films from the 80s and 90s. Not to mention the cosy warmth of the house when it’s 15 degree frost outside but being inside when you are cuddled up together with your loved one, well, it has its own charm. The day before Christmas I did the cooking, washing, washing-up and every single house chore that had to be done so that on the special days we wouldn’t have to do anything but enjoy ourselves. I think it was a good idea because this way we could focuse on the holiday. Unfortunatelly, we had to leave our cosy home for a lunch two hours far from here. My brother-in-low is getting married in September. His fiancée’s family is very kind and the hospitality was perfect. We had our dishes and cakes. After that we said goodbye to everyone and congratulated them on the proposal once again, then we came home. As for the gifts, I made a special gift for my husband. It took a while to finish it but I think it was worth it. I made a huge board out of strings and branches and I put pictures on to it, pictures of our time together, memories, memorable moments. He was very happy about this present and I like it too. We placed it on to one wall of our bedroom so that we can see them when we go to sleep and when we wake up.
