here is someone who likes to wish all of you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Secondly I would like to say sorry for not doing more post on the blog but I was completely overloaded with work. Now my vacation has started and therefor I’m feeling pretty well. On Saturday next week Katie, little Tim and I will go to north Germany at the coast of “North Sea”, somewhere northwest of Hamburg for a week. We’ve rented a house with Jo and Jeanette (and of course Aldo) and hopefully will have a good time. I’m really curious how little Tim will look, when he’ll see the “big pond” for the first time. Anyway, we’ll wave to you.
Our Christmas tree this year is smaller than usual because we’ll leave on December 27. But that doesn’t matter. Katies Mom told us years ago that she’ll have another Christmas tree not before she’ll have her first grandchild. So some weeks ago I said to her: “Hey Mom, it seems you’ll have to buy a tree this year”, and she did. I’ve been there today and she bought a really big one.
Commonly we’ll visit my father on December 24 in the afternoon and then go to Katies Mom in the evening to celebrate Christmas eve. This year we decided to stay at home. We don’t want to pack all the things you need for a little boy in our car. So we’ve invited the family to our house. I think I will put something in the pizza oven in the back yard and we’ll have our celebration here. Little Tim is absolutely fascinated about all the lights in the tree.
Please let me not finish without wishing you a warm, happy Christmas, a wonderful 2009 and thank all of you for your friendship.
