On December 24th the parents of my host mom, and also her sister with her husband, who lives in Chicago, came over and we all had a very delicious breakfast. We skyped all together my whole family in Germany and saw Santa Clause coming to their house. It was a amicable meeting for all of us and had a really nice time together with both of my families. I went with my host sister to another family lunch and later with my whole host family to a family reunion of their great grandma to get more good food and more nice present. Finally we went home and me and my host sisters got all one single present to open from our parents on Christmas Eve - a Pyjama for having a goodnight until we are allowed to open the rest of our presents in the next morning.
December 25th, it is Christmas in America - the day we have waited so long for. We all were very excited, and that's why stood up early in the morning. First it was the turn of my little, 5 year old, host sister and she was very happy to get all her new baby stuff (new babies, baby car sits, baby bottles, diaper, changing table - just everything she wanted), she also got her favorite candy, games, a McDonalds Drive Threw, and many more things. And now it was our turn, from me and my 15 years old host sister. We got also our favortie candies, gift cards for our favorite stores, finger nail stuff, make up, games, socks, underwear, scarves and she her new laptop and me my new white IPhone4 - it was awesome!
On the next day we went to a family brunch from the side of my host dad and we got presents again. And the same as it was on the day before we could open first our present, that were lying under the tree and finally our stockings. Everyone has his own stocking with his own name on it filled with the things they like the most. I'm so thankful for havin such a nice family, that treat me like their own child (: The picture shows the beautiful tree standing in the living room of my host parents.
Christma was now almost other, but luckily still a week of the break left. I went shopping with my host sister and mom and bought a lot of really nice new clothes. I went to a Birthday Surprise Party with dancing and food, again to my favorite restaurant BDubs, I had a game to cheer for, celebrated New Years Eve with only a few friends, but lots of fun, went ice scating, watched movies, and just enjoyed the the feeling without any stress in school. All in all I had a really good break and it is kinda sad, that I have to say it is over now and I have to go back to school tomorrow.
