I wish you all a merry Christmas! Enjoy the time with your loved ones!

My Christmas Eve was really nice. I put together our new DVD recorder [that my parents had gotten a couple of weeks ago but that they had not hooked up yet]. They also just got a flat wide screen TV so that makes watching movies even more enjoyable! After that I decorated our Christmas tree [that you can see in the picture up there] and then my dad and I picked up Christoph at his apartment. Back home we had dinner which was ostrich steak, fried potatoes and beans, and tiramisu for dessert, which was absolutely delicious.

After dinner we lit the fire in our new fireplace and exchanged presents. I got perfume and shower gel [Bruno Banani's Pure Woman] and the Shrek 3 DVD from my brother, and two books from Tatjana, The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai and Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. From our parents we got money, as usual. Yesterday Tina and I exchanged presents already, and she gave me a 2008 wall calendar of Munich and a pair of pretty earrings. I also got a necklace and candle from Eva and a notebook from Sheela.

After opening the presents we watched the movie Help! [by the Beatles], we had given our dad the special edition of the DVD and now dad, mom and I are watching Shrek the Third. Christoph already went home to spend the evening with Tatjana.

All in all a very nice day. I hope you had a great one too!
