You say it's your birthday...

... I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you...!!! (Birthday, by The Beatles)

Yes, it's Patrick's birthday today! On the picture on the right he is playing with his lovely cousins at the birthday party of my mum. She gave her party in a beautiful timber framed house. Outside was a fireplace where you could get mulled wine to warm your fingers and throat ;-)

And it's Saint Nicholas Day as well. Lisa, I will send you a small Santa Claus, sorry, forgot about it, and biscuits - enough for everybody - and you can tell your host family and Kate what kind of customs we have in Germany. Wasn't aware that we differ that much, but it's very interesting to learn about it! I'm curious!!!
I'm looking soooo much forward to seeing you on Christmas Eve, Lisa! You will have lots of stories to tell us, I'm sure! xxx
