12/25 DAY 6: FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, DAS GROßE FRESSEN I (PIGGING OUT II)
Christmas Day itself started off pretty uneventful. I tidied up my room and we had a nice breakfast together. Julia, Sören and Peter went to clean the house that they’re renovating.

Marita and I went for a walk with the little Mats, which was nice. He really is an adorable kid. Very active, curious, intelligent and happy. Very rarely did he cry and doesn’t get restless easily.

For dinner, Marita served a meat fondue (i.e. a fondue pot with vegetable oil in the middle of the table and raw pork and steak to cook in it.) She also served rice filled grape leaves, pepperocinis, etc. Really good stuff.

Sören and I stayed up extra late and talked. It was very nice. We hadn’t really ever had time to get to know one another, so this was really welcomed by me.

It was so nice to just relax and enjoy others’ company for the holidays. People that genuinely care about you and who enjoy your company. I have to say that it was one of the nicest Christmases I’ve had in a very long time.
