All the chaos at school during this time with plays,
singing, projects, hyper kids and tired teachers, Christmas break is a just
what I needed. To start the time off
properly I went out with some teachers from school for “Mad Friday.” This is a crazy night out in town with packed
bars and people dressed in all sorts of fashion. I had a great time moving from bar to bar and
taking pictures with people in awesome Christmas jumpers.
Sunday I celebrated Christmas with Sarah and her
family. We cooked a ton of food and then
went to church to listen to some carols.
It was beautiful and helped keep me in the spirit.

This is where all the smooth easy fun ended. Christmas Eve I jumped on a train heading to
London where I supposed to meet up with my brother Tim. Sadly since he was on standby he was still in
New York and I was hanging out at the hotel.
Luckily for me the hotel was amazing!
I was also able to head into town and meet up with Natalie for one last dinner
and walk around Covent Gardens. Christmas
day Tim finally made it and our celebrating would have started had they not
lost his luggage. Again luckily for me
they didn’t lose the bag my mom sent filled with goodies for me! Apparently travel and Tim don’t go
together. We decided to go for a walk to
find some food but the entire city was closed.
Our Christmas dinner ended up in the hotel and then early to bed for the
tired Timmy. The day after Christmas is
Boxing Day in the UK which apparently shopping is similar to Black Friday. Since Tim had no clothes we had to join the
crowds and try to find something for him to wear. The tube was on strike that day so we walked
from Chelsea for a few miles trying to get to the open stores. Then the rain began. And it kept going. Wet tired and hungry we went back to Chelsea
to find some food and had a bit more success.
In the morning we got ready to head to Amsterdam and of course several
of the trains were cancelled. We made it
on one and stood in the corner just trying to make it to the airport. Yes this London trip was not the best one
yet, but I am sure she will make it up to me later.
