Today I was invited to a Christmas lunch in a British family’s house. The host family was nice and prepared lots of traditional foods. We had wine, turkey, vegetables and potatoes, Christmas pudding, coffee and cake. The long lunch ended with the queen’s speech on TV. It seems like this is an important tradition for the British family.
Since I was too full to do anything after I came back home, I gave up the thoughts of studying and decided to do something I haven’t done for a long time. I plugged in my tablet and started drawing with my com while listening to Nagashima’s 雪の華 for the rest of the day. My drawing skill is getting worse since I haven’t practiced for some time; nevertheless, I enjoyed the activity and think it is a good way to spend my Christmas. This Christmas’s simple and quiet with few people around (the street’s almost empty when I went out today), but instead of feeling lonely, I feel serene and appreciate the quietness. It’s a good time to reflect on my life, remember my friends and family, and think about what I want to do in the future.
Wish everyone reading this blog a merry christmas.
