I looked it up, my last post was in November, 8th. So I was absent from this little space here for more than 2 months! Truth being told, I simply didn't make time for blogging. That happened because I lost my motivation for creative writing between editing/proofreading at work and handing in essays over essays in my English class. Yet I missed filling this online kind of diary lots. And I did SO MUCH in the last weeks or rather months. We checked off two more awesome places in Thailand, Koh Chang and Koh Phangan, which I will get back to later. In the next time I want to try getting them together because they are too good not to share.
But I will begin right from the beginning when I lost track with writing. Although I am far away from home and Christmas is a typical Western holiday, I had a great time with my friends from all over the world here for the festive season. We were putting together a gingerbread house and went to a Christmas buffet (they served ham & turkey, however the cinnamon cookies surpassed every christmas-y dessert I ever had, absolutely delish!). On top of that my family and friends from Germany sent me packets with decorations, chocolate, books and other courtesies.
I am aware of the weirdness of this post blogging just now about my this time. Believe it or not, the next one is just lurking around the corner, 11 months to go from here. Just kidding.
After this lovely afternoon with my girls, people from home came over to visit us. So we had the chance to spend this special time with someone from our family here. That's another reason why I didn't come here to update the site. Spending time with your loved ones can be so precious that there is no room for social media and else. Don't you agree with me?

| Xmas Joy |
It was so great to share this German tradition of making a witch's cottage out of gingerbread, icing, sweets and powdered sugar. Those little figures aren't handmade just in case you wonder. If I would be that talented, I wouldn't sit here. All of the parts were from a package with instructions kept very simple. For us it was anyway rather about the time nibbling on the gummi bears and babbling for the last time in 2014. We all knew we wouldn't make it once again after that date in December because everyone was out of town travelling over New Year. So this is my christmas post. Better late than never.
For every one out there,
I wish you wholeheartedly a (very belated) Happy New Year.
May 2015 bring even more joy, love, happiness and travels to all of us.
Oh I love your gingerbread house! What a wonderful tradition. I hope you have a wonderful 2015 and that I see you soon :)

DeleteWell welcome back Sonja! I was wondering why you hadn't blogged in so long. It can be nice sometimes to step back and recharge your batteries in a lot of areas in life.
