As I've been going about my week, I keep replaying the lyrics of a Christmas song I listened to recently: "It's Christmas Time All Over the World". Here's a few applicable lines:
It’s Christmas Time All Over The World
It’s Christmas here at home
The church bells chime we 'ere roam...
Though the customs might change
And the language is strange
This appeal we feel is real
In Holland or Hong Kong
It’s Christmas Time All Over The World
In places near and far
And so my friend wherever you are
Ein fröhliches Weihnachten [German]
Kala Christougenna [Greek]
Yoi kurisumasu [Japanese]
This means a very Merry Christmas
To you
Merry Christmas, my friends and family. May the Spirit of Christ enter your hearts and stay with you all year long.
Awwwww Merry Christmas to you too! I talked to Jeremy's brother, Matt (his older brother), about your move to Budapest. He LOVES your city. He's traveled there numerous times for his old job and it is his all-time favorite city in the world. He had lots of questions for me that I didn't know the answer to. He was jealous and really wants to move there. 1) Your home is on the Buda or Pest side? I kind of answered this by describing what I remember you telling me and that it's on the hilly side. So he kind of knew what I was talking about. 2) What the name of your hotel? 3) What's your favorite building so far?---I told him about your pictures of the bridge and others you'd taken, but couldn't answer specifically. 4) What district is Adam's work in? 5) What district is your house in? 6) What district is the kids' school in?...Lots of questions that I probably should know, but just didn't pay close enough attention to commit to memory! So sorry; I feel like a bad sister. So help me out and I won't forget these answers again! Love you loads; Merry Christmas. I thought about you all weekend. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
