jul

Santa visited us. We got some presents: I got five, just like the machine in the internet told me! So thanks Santa for Sofi Oksanen's book, couple of bags, Synkkien laulujen maa (Land of Sad Songs) -cd, skull-necklace and MOST of all: I got a Eppu Normaali Nahka-kalenteri(!!!) this is something only finns can know. And IT is so camp, that It has to be good.

I've been visiting graveyards lately couple times. It's beautiful place on xmas-eve's. Full of candles and cold winter night with stars in the sky. I've been remembering last years, people and being alone with my thoughts. I visited again mom's brother's, father's, grandparent's graves, and today I went also to Father's brothers, grandparents and uncles graves. And light a candle in all of those.

We had something 18 persons visiting today. It's always hard to be with these people, because I don't share anything except blood-relations with them.

I am waiting for next week: meeting friends, greeting them and going to work (last day i was there on 18th of August!). And NYE party, which wont be big, but hopefully warm and nice happening.

Merry Xmas, dear Elise!
Have a wonderful time with family and friends!
I'm looking forward to a cozy New Year's eve with you and some of our best friends from all over Europe in Helsinki.
