First of all I wanna wish all my readers everywhere in the world a very, very merry christmas and jolly holiays! I hope you all have a wonderful time with your family and your loved ones!

We actually do have a white christmas this year. As a kid I always wished christmas to be white, but now that I am grown up and that it has been snowing for the last four or six weeks, I am kind of sick of snow. It has been snowing till this morning and now we have some kind of ice rain and I am a bit scared that we might not get to my parents house tonight or even worth that we might not get back to Cologne.

This is our last christmas as real germans and I am pretty excited about how it’s gonna be. We will have a pretty big christmas dinner with my and Flo’s parents, my grandma, my brother and his family first. For some of you this might not sound big at all, but for our family’s it kind of is. I hope that there will not be a lot of tears, but I am afraid that there might be, because Flo and I are giving our parents some very emotional presents.

I will tell you more about how christmas went and about how Flo and I try to get some american spirit into christmas this year in the next couple days!

Merry christmas everyone!!!

Even if it doesn’t feel like a whole year has passed again, this is actually the first day of 2010. So what did you wish for, yesterday? Health? A better job? A better pay-check? To find love? Or to be with your family more often? I was working at 12pm, yesterday, so I actually did not have time to think about wishes at all. But even now, when I am writing this, I can’t come up with a single thing I want to change in my life next year!

Even if I didn’t expect it to, 2009 turned out to be a good year! My boyfriend won the Greencard, married me, I got a new family, a new job, I have gorgeous friends and had really good times last year. Even if I know that my life is really good right now, I am cranky very often. I sometimes feel bad for this, because there are so many people out there, who have much worther problems than I have and who are living a much worther life than I do. I realized this yesterday when one of my best friends gave me a snuggie as a late christmas present, because even if this was one of the smallest presents I got this year it was the best! It feels good when little things can make you so happy!

I am actually so looking forward to 2010, because I think so much exciting things are going to happen. It will be our last year here in Germany and I just want to enjoy every single bit of it – even the bad things Germany has to offer like horrible weather or unfriendly people. I know that even if I sometimes think that my life sucks, I will miss everything about it so badly when we move over to the US.

So my master plan for 2010 is to just take everything as it comes and turn it into something good. I hope for everyone that their wishes will come true in 2010 and wish you a very happy new year!

Even if christmas is tomorrow, I still can’t believe that we actually are so close to the christmas season. This year ran by so fast and it brought so many crazy things with it. I guess I don’t realize most of them even by now. I am married, I have a temporary Greencard in my passport, my second niece or newphew is growing in my sister in law’s belly – and that’s just half of what happened in 2009.

I started this blog two months ago, but it feels like I published my first post just a few days ago. There is so much I want to tell you guys and there still happen so many things related to our Greencard win that I often can’t choose what I should write about. For this is Christmas week I will give you a short overview of what we will be up to the next few days.

Tomorrow is the first day my husband and me have off work. So we will sleep in, go for a quick walk, wrap the last presents, get dressed and than pick up my granny and drive over to my parents’ house. Last year we celebrated Christmas eve apart, because my husband spend it with his parents and I celebrated with my family. This year my parents-in-law are coming over to my parent’s house, so the whole family can celebrate together. Traditionally we get our presents tomorrow and than have a big dinner with goose and the last pieces of our wedding cake.

On Friday my husband and me will celebrate alone and on Saturday we will again meet at my parents’ house, but this time my brother, my sister in law and my little niece will be there, too. My parents in law always get away over the holidays, this year they take the plane to Spain on Friday. I am sooo excited about how everyone will like their presents, about how our first Christams as one big family will be and about how we will celebrate next year.

I will post some pics for you afterwards. Perhaps you guys can leave me a few words on how you will celebrate! Till then I wish everyone a wonderful and merry Christams!
