3 days of Xmas

On the First day of Xmas, my baby and me – we went to Nijmijgen
To see the student old Dutch big city-y-y!
And it was cold! Very very cold. We did some walking, some talking, all shops were closed, and all people were at their homes, having a nice beginning of celebration. It was almost like an arrangement for us to quietly enjoy the city. Have you ever had a private walk to a city? Well, this was ours. We just enjoyed the old Roman walls and got quickly in for warm coffee. :)

On the Second day of Xmas, my baby and me – we went to my baby’s friends,
For Australian – Dutchie dinner and friend times to be.
Why am I always a bit nervous to meet his friends or family.. argh! The thought of them makes me crawl under my own skin and find my dark safe place. Anyhow, it was a good laugh and warm food and people. Sounds like cannibalism.. no, man! The food was tasty, they were nice! And I survived!

On the Third day of Xmas, my baby and me – we stayed home with my family.
It was actually my uncle and friends, but I call them family.
I was shocked to find that they close supermarkets on Xmas day! I never needed to do groceries myself for Xmas, leave alone prepare anything whatsoever to serve to the guests under the name of food. Have I mentioned my plan was to serve 4 courses?! Well, I managed! The company was excellent, the food was good and the guys played music while we the girls were catching up, as usually.. and looking forward to the baby! ;)
