Regarding a Xmas Tree

In America they CELEBRATE Xmas.

Christmas in South Africa is also celebrated in the true sense of the Word, but there are slight cultural differences.

In Florida this is a magical time, from the lights decorating each house, to the Xmas music playing on streetcorners, to our stunning Xmas tree that arrived on Saturday! Apart from Miami, which - allow me to reiterate - is NOT America, the Xmas spirit is in the air. If you can stay more than 5 miles away from anything resembling a shopping center or a mall, then there is bliss and in general - peace...

Sunday, we spend the afternoon decorating our tree. It is a new experience for me, but one that will surely become an annual family tradition, where ever we'll be.

That and eggnogg!! Ahuhaaa!
