My Winter Break : Week of 1.10

This break was a much needed one! For the start of the break I really took time to relax and spend time with my loved ones, then the chaos of Christmas began. My family takes the holidays very seriously and family traditions always reign supreme. We spent days preparing the Christmas desserts and living room in order to make it just right for Christmas. Since my family is very spread out across the globe, we celebrate the holidays with our chosen family. My mom's host sisters from when she was a exchange student 20 years ago come with their families, and my God family also joins us. I love the holidays because it is like a stress sandwich, relaxing to STRESS, and then back to catching up on sleep. I hope you all had a great holiday feelings sandwich too!
