Well Christmas is finally over and now it's onto New Year's Eve :D! Well before I start talking about what I'll be doing on New Year's Eve, I'm going to tell you how my Christmas went this year.
I don't know how it is in America, but here in Holland we celebrate Christmas on two days (25th and the 26th). So basically it's two days of eating, eating and well.....what a surprise...more eating :D! No I'm just kidding....euhmm...actually I'm not hehehe! Yeah on the first Christmas day we didn't have such an elaborate Christmas dinner as the dinner we had yesterday. On the first day I just had a small Christmas dinner with my family. So that was nice as well.
And yesterday we invited some good friends of our family to come and join us for Christmas dinner. And what a dinner that was! I don't think I've ever eaten as much as yesterday...seriously!! We started at 6 p.m. and me and my brother were the last people who finished around 08.30 p.m.! That's like 2,5 hours of non-stop eating :S! The rest of my family and our guests already stopped eating at 07.30 p.m., yeah that was no fun...cause there was still so much food on the table. Anyways me and my brother had a little competition going on who could eat the most and who could continue the longest of the both of us. The end time for our little competition was 10 o'clock. But when we saw the time and it was only 08.30 p.m., both of us felt so bloated from all the food...we just called it a draw! If we had continued this lil' competition, I think we both would've exploded hahaha :D. Afterwards me and my brother had to lie down on the couch and rest before we could eat dessert. That's how full we were! Ohh well it was fun and we actually do this every year just for the fun of it, but he's always the one who ends up winning. So this time I just couldn't let him win again...yeahh I'm competitive like that ;)!
So after dinner we ate dessert (chocolate and strawberry icecream...yummy :p!!). When we finished eating our dessert, we decided to play some poker with our guests. My mom bought my brother a poker briefcase for Christmas. And even before Christmas we were already teaching my mom how to play the game. I don't think she fully understands the game yet, but at least she's trying :). I unfortunately lost pretty quickly, cause I got dealt shitty cards pretty much every time. Ohh well...nothing I can do about it now! And we were just playing for fun, so it's all good.
Anyway the end of the year is almost in sight. What's everyone doing on New Year's Eve? I'm curious! My aunt and uncle and my little cousins are coming to our house on New Year's Eve. So that's going to be fun. But I won't be staying that long, cause at the end of the night I'm heading to a club with some friends to celebrate the transition of the year at midnight. Basically that day consists of eating, drinking and partying :D!! I'm getting excited just thinking about it!!
Ohh right, I almost forgot to mention that I also received my Xmas card from KC & Elka today...woohoo :D! Yeah I know it's not Xmas anymore, but who cares...a late card is better than no card at all right?? I was happy to see that my card made it to Albuquerque. Yeah I have never sent international mail before, so I was like...."I hope this card arrives in Albuquerque on time"...and it did :)! So their Xmas card was like a post Christmas present, it totally made my day :D!
Okkk then...I think I've rambled enough for now! If I don't blog before the end of the year, I wish you all a Happy New Year and may you all drink a LOT of champagne during the transition of the year and get totally wasted :D! Talk to you all in 2007 ;)!!
