new creatures came to inhabit our house while i was away. among them, a christmas tree. maybe it’s not fair to impose christmas on a tree, and then it’s not a pine tree – it’s a cypress. a living tree, which will be planted in our back yard at some point. but meanwhile we thought we might decorate it. the whole house, which these days is not only the 5 of us but also didier, george and maryann, and sarahjain and her kids dropping by. decoration american style – stringing popcorn with some cranberries. except for mihui, who loses her patience with popcorn and uses all cranberries. (and the real problem with making popcorn garlands is of course that one keeps on eating popcorn.)<\/p>\n

it’s a bit embarrasing, but we end up jumping around the tree and singing christmas carols. (later i talk and sing to giulia on the phone and we note a difference in carols: back home they all seem to revolve around maria and joseph and the small child, the crib and the barn and the three kings, while here there are so many about rednosed raindeer, sleighs, jolly seasons and white christmas.) actually this doesn’t sound embarrasing at all, but wait till i manage to upload mar\u00c3\u00ada’s videoimages of the event…<\/p>\n
