¡¡¡¡¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!!

This afternoon it’s partly cloudy and 52. The sun has been out for the last several days also, so that makes it warmer!

I went to Christmas Eve mass on Saturday. It wasn’t at a special time; just 6:30 like usual. I left the house at five after six because I wasn’t sure what the pew situation was going to be like. I needn’t have worried though…got there a little before 6:15 and the church was practically empty! I thought it might be a longer mass than usual but it wasn’t; it was 7:18 when I got home, which means that I was about 35ish minutes long.

I had a pretty quiet night. Will asked if I wanted to go out with him and Gunita and everyone else but I didn’t…I watched Christmas movies instead. To me, that’s more fun than going out. Everyone’s always like “you never go out anymore”. I know I wouldn’t have to drink but being in a loud bar with drunk people holds zero allure for me. Call me weird if you want…it’s just not my thing.

Christmas was relaxed also; didn’t go anywhere. Will stayed in also; Gunita was at Igor’s the entire day. I watched more movies and hung out. Being here, it didn’t seem that much like Christmas but it was alright…I didn’t hate the day.

Will and Gunita both got me something (sigh). I didn’t get them anything due to financial restrictions, so of course I felt bad! I told them I’d make them something, like cookies or more toffee, so baking will be my present to them! Will said he like the Soda Cracker Toffee, so I’ll probably make that…and bonus, it’s super easy!

Gunita gave me a white scarf (yay!) a little clutch purse (which she said I had to go out more and use!) and a necklace. Will gave me a calendar of all the TV hotties here in Spain and also this book entitled “Jesús Me Quiere ~ Jesus Loves Me”. I thought it was a joke at first and he was making fun of me (because he does sometimes—nothing malicious, just light hearted jokes). He was like “Well, when I first saw I was, but then I read a little about it and it looks interesting”. It’s about this thirty something woman, who’s unlucky in love and meets this guy who on their first date tells her he is Jesus. I must say that I am  rather intrigued!

Xoxo,
