My first Christmas in Europe I was so exited about Christmas because the last two months before I had a very busy days. Many thing to study and to catch up. The first week I was with my lovely girlfriend, she had to work, so I stayed in home, studying very hard and nothing else. (well I also took showers and ate). That week passed too fast, I just had enough time to finish to read half material of one of my six courses. By the way, maybe you are wondering why I had to studying during the Christmas break. No, it's not because I'm a super nerd student, that's because I had the exams before new year (to be precise it started January 11), and as I mentioned in previous notebooks, I was overwhelming with all new information to learn and, of course, I didn't want to fail any course in my first semester of my Master, so I really had to get down to work, applying myself in that vacation period. Christmas was around the corner, I needed to be ready to be in my first European Christmas night. My family doesn't use to give present in Christmas, but I seemed that that "tradition" was quiet important in my girlfriend's family. So, after thinking how could be the best "solution" to this "issue". I came up with the idea to combine the budget with my girlfriend and but something together for each member of the family. (just to take advantage of the background that my girlfriend already has of her family). Finally, the long-awaited night arrived, the dinner was so cozy, with closed relatives. I ate deer with mashed potato and salad. It was my first time I'd tasted deer. it was very jummy! The only strange was that everything finished too early. I mean, I didn't expect a Mexican style party, but at least something reasonable. By 8:30 pm all people was leaving, my girlfriend and I stayed in the house where the dinner was (her grandparents' house). The next day, December 25, we went to her aunt's house. Normally in Mexico we used that they to stay in home, sometimes we make also a small meal with the rest of food of the day before, but here was a little different. It's was amazing how much I ate that day; from a "simple" tomato soup to a very elaborate roasted meat, many desserts (cookies, ice-cream, small pastries), all made by the aunt herself! Believe me, I ate from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm continuously and I regretted of nothing. Unfortunately, all good things must come to end and I had to come back to studying for a couple of days more until new year :)
