almost two weeks I have been receiving Christmas cards, which, if my nome fault calculations, this year Christmas has begun in mid-November. not that surprised me, because here, like the United States since November 1, spend the holidays without interruption (Halloweeen, Thanksgiving, Christmas ...). However, I arrive early congratulations from Spain, so it is easy to deduce that it is Christmas in the English Court.
I, however, I refuse to decorate the house before 14 December. I've always looking forward to the week before Christmas, when my parents rode the crib and placed the wreath on your door. Then, based on much urging my sister Cris and I reached the tree, and was gradually moving to Bethlehem as a symbol of Christmas. During the fortnight they remained in the room, the house had a special atmosphere. It was nice to get home after school and see the tree lit, as a prologue holidays, family gatherings and gifts. Now, since mid-November if it is ready all the trappings, I suppose will lose some of its effect, since for the December 24th everyone will be more than saturated trees, advertisements and nougat, perfumes and toys.
As I said, I'm cured of terror, and here is artínulos Christmas shops open all year. There is one in Quebec I recommend you visit if you have the chance (mind that Air France is offering cheap flights, or at least I have).
This week has been quite stressful, more mostly due to the move ("anyway?) by Michelle at my apartment. Although it sounds cliché, I can not help being astonished by the amount of useless junk that can accumulate the women for a year. We had to check three boxes of the 4th kilos each to his parents' house because my apartment could not be everything. Of the three closets in the house, I am left with the smallest and yet I have too much space. The rest, including lofts, have been occupied by clothes that have given a maximum of 6 months, if not I've seen towards this deadline, the donate to an NGO (is a mutual agreement, not an imposition. ...)
although it only had 4 days living together in this new situation, I think things are going to be fine. It's nice to see objects around the house that are not mine. The change I've noticed in the bathroom, where the sight of his robe hung beside the door behind me gives me a smile and a pleasant sense of shared home.
Yesterday we celebrated in their own way: Staying within ice skating. Yesterday inaugurated the Patinoire du Bassin Bonsecours in the Vieux Port de Montréal. There were from 9 am to 4 degrees below zero, and not returned until the spectacle ended at 21 hours. We stopped, yes, a couple of hours eat at Le Chalet, a barbecue chicken restaurant quite famous in Montreal and several times to take "chocolat chaud" and not falter. I have horrible tugging at the twins and the thighs, due to lack of experience in this sport. However, it is worth the fireworks offered at eight o'clock. The reflection of lights on the ice I caused a sensation, it must be because I associate with summer fireworks ....
I still think if you go home for Christmas or not. Two years I've been beaten. Maybe then I put it to Michelle to see if they have clearer ideas.
