Happy Holidays

Before Christmas

Nothing can be more inspirable to get out of the bed in the mornings during Advent Season than an Advent Calendar. Nothing can make Christmas preparations, Christmas Eve and the following days cosier and more intimate than an infectious chicken-pox. :)

During Christmas

Nothing can be unbearable at Christmas than not to meet the beloved ones. As my sister is going to give life to her second child appr. in 2 weeks from now, we did not want to take risk to infect either Emile or the smallest issue. The potential Xmas company was wider than I thought initially:

-those who had had chicken-pox ever,

-those who suffered from chicken-pox at that time as well,

-those who wanted to have chicken-pox and come through this once-in-a-lifetime illness and

-those who did not care about it.

After Christmas

Nothing can be more relaxed than skating and enjoying fresh chilly air and sliding from 2012 into 2013. I tried the newly reconstructed skating-rink of the city park of the capital. The skating area was expanded to 12,000 square metres. This artifical ice is the largest and one of the oldest ice rinks in Europe (opened in 1870). The fantastic surround in the heart of the historical Budapest recalled my old memories and the good feeling of the whole (located between the Heroes' Square and the Vajdahunyad Castle). Then we tried the local ice rink with Dominik and I think I will persuade his father to teach him how to skate well because he is good at skating. 
And nothing can make me swerve to stay committed to my habit that the first day of the New Year is spent outdoor with walking to let fresh air into my brain to have a clear conception of some things.
