I heard that you all celebrated Christmas and that
means the world didn`t collapse on the 21st of December. We really
had a plan in case something would happen. If the electricity wouldn’t work
than we couldn`t call each other and then we would go up to the cabin. Luckily
nothing happened and we were able to celebrate Christmas up in Bemidji. 
On the 22nd of December we drove 4 hours up
to a town called Bemidji, because we wanted to celebrate the holiday with our
family and our grandparents. We had all the gifts and the gifts we needed in
the back of our car and trust me we are were 4 girls in a car and we take a lot
of random stuff with us. On the way we watched batman 1 and we saw some deer
and eagles, because we drove through a lot of white nature. In Bemidji the temperature
was between – 7 and -18 degrees. One day we went down to the Bemidji Lake and
we were walking on it. We The day before Christmas we went to a mall to buy the
rest of our gifts and we made a picture with Santa. After wrapping all the
gifts we decided to get a bit crazy so Rob and Paul took out their skies and we
put a robe behind the car and we were driving through the snow. The girls were
sitting in the back of the car and we took pictures and videos. It was really fun
and after it we went back into the house and ate cookies and other stuff,
because we had a lot of good food at the house. 
On Christmas day we went to the church and we sang “Stille
Nacht, heilige Nacht” and “Ihr kinderlein kommet” in English. It was a bit
wired to sing it without the regular lyrics. Back home we had fondue and potatoes.
In the evening we opened all the gifts and everybody was happy.
We left cookies out, because Santa should come over night. In
the morning Sam woke us up (in a really nice way=starring at us, laughing and
kicking me out of the bed). We went up to the fireplace and found little gifts.
We left at the same day and drove back home. We were
starving (verhungern), but nothing was open, so our Christmas day lunch was a
gas station pizza. Back home we cooked a dinner and went over to a friend to
watch a movie.
During the holidays I have to read the perk of being a
wallflower and …..that`s everything I need to do.
Over New Year we will go skiing and I am excited, because
I wasn´t skiing for like 8 years….so I hope that my body is fine when I come
home in 2013.
I hope you all had a peaceful Christmas and a happy
New Year
Alex
p.s. we got a whole bunch of christmas card, because it is american tradition, that you send some to other families with a letter what your family did during the past year and that you get some from other families.
