Merry Christmas everyone!
This year I feel very very festive.
Although work is crazy. Pediatrics in the winter is no joyride. Viruses and mucus are thrown at you from every direction. It’s definitely not crisis for Kleenex and The Antiseptic Gel!
It’s wonderful. It’s so beautiful. It makes me want to… “Wipe my nose, put my new boots on and get a little warm in my heart when i think of winter…” (The beginning of Winter a song by Tori Amos… joyful).
The peacefulness which comes along with a thick layer of snow is just marvelous.
The sound of walking in the snow makes me want to “tele-transport†myself to a childhood ski holiday.
The snow is just so enchanting exotic, I love it. I feel very cheery these days!
The whole family is coming home for Christmas from every corner of the world.
As we are all big globetrotters this year, I thought I would infuse my Christmas menu with our travels.
So I present to you our Christmas Eve Dinner Menu: a worldly encounter!
