Frohe Weihnachte

Merry Christmas! I hope everyones holiday were great. and also a happy new years to everyone too :D My Christmas was nothing special, just a nice few days spending together with the whole family. Which is exactly what i wanted. Friday night (23rd) we went to Rosenheim and went to the Christkindlmarkt, its a giant christmas market, where a bunch of local vendors sell crafts and food and good stuff.There was so many people there, and there is where you buy the famous glüweihn, i spelled that wrong. but its like a hot wine, and its verry good on cold winter nights, and its really important in german culture for christmas. But the market was cool and it was a good way to spend the first night of holidays with my family.

Christkindlmarkt
The next day was the 24th, which is actually when most of the Christmas celebrating happens here. We went ice skating together, and then to Church, after we came home. Then we opened presents and had a small meal of weiß wurst and kartoffel salat. (white sausage and potato salad). The next day the 25th we just spent the day together and had a big meal of a roast of some sort, some bavarian beer, dumplings (bavarian), and more potato salad. Was really nice to be together with the family for 2 straight days. Here the Christmas is really celebrated on the 24th like i said, and then the 25th and 26th are the two feast days of christmas. 

Christmas Feast Day no. 1 meal
Today I will be going to an Ice hockey game in Rosenheim with some of my old friends from there. Rosenheim has a proffessional team there. Tomorrow i think i am planning a trip to Wasserburg. New Years i think i am going to Munich to spend the new years with Exchange students. And after that I think i will be going to Frankfurt to visit my former exchange brother Jan. He lived in my house about 4 years ago, and he is from Germany. Cant wait to do that. Have a happy holidays and happy new years
