Christmas

I never know what language to write my blogs in so I might just start blogging in English now. Or I  blog in English sometimes and in German sometimes, I don't really know yet, we'll see.
What I thought and heard about Americans is that they all open their presents on Christmas morning so on Dec 25th but my host family and I, we actually opened them on Dec 24th after church at night and then just opened our stockings on Christmas morning. We left for visiting more family on Dec 26th and went to Minnesota then which was really fun. They actually had more snow than we did at that time so we went sledding one of these days. While we were in Minnesota we got a lot of snow in Wausau and it actually stays, not like snow in Germany that turns into mud and melts within 2 days.
