An old style Santa

Here I'm again very soon since the last time ( I promised to my self not to leave things behind in 2013 :D ) Starting with one belated Christmas card that really made my day when I got it ! It was a totally unxpected & surprising card from a very dear family friend that I haven't heard from since almost a decade ! When I was a child and in my teens , she was coming regularly here in summers , and she was like my French mom ;-) She was openminded enough to tell her things I wouldn't say to my own mom and she had help me through a lot of things back then ! As the time went by her visits were more seldom and at one point we sadly lost touch , but it is a great feeling to discover that after all those years somebody does think & care for you !! So , yes , do grab your pen and write to people you miss !

Yaaaay , an X-mas card !!!

hello people , here I'm again after quite a long break !! Christmas is just around the corner for most of us around here... I say this as we are officially the only Orthodox country who celebrates Christmas at the same day with the western world, while all other Orthodox countries are celebrating it at January 7 along with a sizeable minority here.... ok I cut the talk , and I go to the card ! It's the first Christmas card in years ( Cards from businesses and politicians to me as their dear customer of course are not to be counted), so it is a great feeling to receive a card from a dear person instead of e-cards or such !! This 3-D Christmas joy came from Belgium and my sweet buddy Andy ( and with a matching stamp too ).... thanks a lot dear and keep an eye on the mailbox :)  Zalig Kerstfeest en Gelukkig Nieuwjaar ...No I don't speak Flemish , omniglot.com does , and as a matter of fact I hope it does correctly :D
