It is a windy day in Greece. The olive trees are shivering in the wind, and showing the pale white undersides of their leaves. On the upside, our laundry flapping wildly on the clothesline is completely dry in spite of the overnight rain.
Last night, Christmas Eve, we did our best to capture some holiday spirit. We started a game of Risk (which will likely last right into the New Year,) watched YouTube videos of Christmas carols, and made our own eggnog with fresh eggs from the chicken coop.
This morning we had a visitor - neighbor Bob. Such a pleasant surprise to hear the doorbell ring! He came bearing gifts, and a tiny bottle. The three of us sat and chatted and sipped some delicious Courvoisier.
Although we are far from home, we are sending our thoughts to friends and family, wherever you may be. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and blessings for the New Year.
With love,
Donica and Michael

| Keeping the fire stoked (for warmth AND a festive backdrop) is a full time job. |
