Wednesday. It’s sunny and I feel much better.
I ordered the presents for my kids and also bought the presents for the school kids. I got deodorant and some shower gel because my son asked me to get deodorant. I have to admit that it was very easy. I’m still not sure why it’s so popular among 10/11 years old.

We put the Christmas tree and decorated it. I love that tree and I’m sure to add at least one thing that each of my kids made. I’m only missing something from my youngest son.

The new additions this year are the Santa Clauses made out of branches. There was a box in my son’s kindergarten with a sign: “To take away”. So I picked a big Santa and a small one. I’m not sure who made them but I thought they were perfect for our tree.

As soon as the presents get delivered, I’ll wrap them, hide them and then relax.

I’ll be going to Spain for Christmas and New Year. I don’t want to stay here alone, it won’t be good for me. I’ll leave the 24th very early in the morning so my kids will get their presents when I’m back. I feel a bit bad about not being with them but I explained to them why I was leaving and they said they understood (specially after I told them I was bringing some nice things for them from Spain).

Last year I brought churros and turrón.

These are churros. I’m not sure if everyone knows them. They are made of some kind of dough and deep fried. I like them very much even after I feel sick for about half a day after eating one (and I never eat only one).

And that’s turrón. I’m not sure how that’s called in English, probably nougat. There are many different kinds and the white one with almonds is one of my favorites but I have to admit that the marzipan one or the one made with “burned egg yolks” are amazing too.

I really love my kids when they are happy with so little, it makes me feel like I’m doing something right.
