I grew up celebrating Christmas in the most traditional way possible. In the beginning I used to go home for Christmas to spend time with my family.
For the last 30 years I have been traveling to the States, Italy, Germany or the UK celebrating Christmas wherever I was in December. So at first is was strange for me to spend Christmas at home in the Netherlands... but then we enjoyed it very much because it's so relaxed and we don't have to travel. Guess it's time to start a few new Christmas traditions...
- having a nice Christmas cake, normally we bake cookies
- watching a Christmas movie together
- making Christmas ornament
- playing records
- wearing silly Christmas sweaters
Enjoy some peaceful Christmas days,
Kay

We always make the same...at parents, and at grandmum´s. Hope you enjoyed a lot!
Best wishes for these days.
Hi Kay, I missed "Die Märchenbraut" this year, always makes me smile how many girls in how many countries love this movie.
As you know, we are always with my family, but I'm longing for a Christmas "home", just the 5 of us. I miss to cook my own Christmas dinner. We did that a couple a years ago and my hubby and I enjoyed making food together. The girls found it boring......
Oh, that movie is so wonderful!! And Fallingwater in gingerbread? That's just amazing!! I hope you can convince mister Kay:-) Your cake looks fantastic, so does the ornament and cards. Is that blue and white dish Dutch pottery? We usually spend Christmas at home (except for this year in New York) and have either mine or my husbands parents with us. It's very cosy and relaxed! Enjoy the rest of the Holidays!!
