kids can be so evil hehehe awww u spent halloween workin awwww well i worked until 6pm that day, so i didnt really do much for it either (till that nite), but noone here really recognised Halloween as a holiday, which is pretty much sad... we are more British here, so we celebrate Bonfire nite or Guy Fawkes nite on November 5th.... but if you ask me, Halloween rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i´m so into it! christmas is my fav besides halloween. but there´s gotta be snow and ice everywhere, so it´s so cooooooozy and warrrrrrrm inside. basically it´s dark and gloomy all day long but the candles and stalls make our winters become lovely. and i love to drink Glühwein. unfortunately i dunno how to say that in english... it´s hot wine with spices and sometimes honey mixed in. maybe you know what i mean dude?!

no i dont know what Gluhwein is heheh i was thinking maybe its like egg nog, but i dont think so.. mmm i love the end of year season too... you wont see a xmas tree or a xmas decoration here at all in my country since its not celebrated, but for a dude like me whos spent a large chunk of his life overseas, i do miss it i wish it was more recognised here... im glad i grew up in a British school, or else i wouldnt know the meaning of xmas

don´t bother, i´m sure you got lots of celebrations over there, that we haven´t! unfortunately christmas became so commercial...it´s all about the presents and money so no one really thinks of what the real meaning is about. not that i´m such a religious person, but it means to love your next one and not to compete with him who buys most presents...

yea, we have lots of celebrations - mostly very religious ones.... and yea, they have become quite commercialised too... well, still i do like christmas...the whole holiday season....the food, the decorations, the songs, etc...i know its not a part of my whole culture and religion etc, but its just something i enjoy. man, i do miss the snow...ive had a few white christmasses in my life.....in the Uk. those were the most fun things....to make snowmen, and throw snowballs, on christmas day itself no less. And dude, did i mention the post-christmas sales w00t w00t

last year i gave my best friend a ticking-off. we went on a hill which was quite high and the snow was knee-high. so guess what...the ground was frozen and very slippery. we got up on our sled i was first and she sat behind me. everything was fine...until we crashed a frozen molehill and we flew like six feet down that hill. i felt down first, the sled on my back and my friend finally on top of it. dude the following weeks i felt like quasimodo, the bellringer of notre dame. since that day i avoid sleds....
