Here are some pictures from the past few weeks of holiday-ing.
Christmas party at Marine house (I felt like I was in Middle America as soon as I walked in, really strange)
Christmas morning mass at Radovljica church (only the second time Ive ever been to a Catholic mass. they put on quite a production!)
I went to a concert in a high school gymnasium here in Wheelville and they had a brief interlude for the jugglers of Čupakabra to perform, it was random and wonderful
The concert
A super snowy walk (video to come!) in Begunčica
A beautiful Dutch meal at a friend's house
New Year's Day
New Year's Duck
The size small pizza at Ema doesn't even fit on the plate
Finally taking the tree down
A walk in the snow....
... another walk in the snow....
more snow...
.... a snow man....
...and of course a wizard dog.

it look amazing!
I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year, the pictures are so wonderful. I hope to experience a white Christmas myself.
greetings valerie! the trip to slovenia from the uk is a very cheap one on easy jet or ryan air so that might be the fastest way to a white christmas, otherwise you can wait for more strange results of global warming in which case you might find yourself randomly snowed in!
helo to Slovenia! i like Radovljica and is nice to see how much snow 'we' have this year... i miss the Slovenian winter. here in Baja Sur is great, sunny summery winters, but id' change a day or two with you :) saludos!
The European names given by African are baptismal names, that's where Christianity which was brought to the shores of Ghana by the European took its stronghold. When you have a European name(called christian names) it is assumed that you have been baptised.
Children who have many names are very much loved; as each side of the parent's family bestow various names on the child when it is born. Such is the reason behind the numerous names for a child in some cultures.
@anonymous 12:55 - actually most of my aunts and uncles and other relatives (including my mother) have European first names and then ANOTHER European name (which they often keep as a middle name) that they received when they were baptised. so what you say has not been true for the people i know.
As an african american from New England I think your blog is so fascinating and enthralling. I love how the snowman you made looks like it has a kinky twist-out...lol. Keep on fighting the good fight sister :)
thanks for reading. i didn't make that snowman though. happy new year!
