Here in the southern hemisphere it is summer. We spent Christmas day with friends and while we ate traditional food the activities were far from it. Though I grew up in Los Angeles I spent 12 years in Canada. In Calgary at Christmas time we tended to go for a walk in the snow or ice skating. Here in Argentina we watched the children of our friends swim in their pool and sat on the patio having a cocktail. There is a lot to be said for avoiding winter altogether. I know that last winter in Buenos Aires was warmer that summer in Calgary!
We have been lucky this year to have one of our 2 sons with us for the holidays. The "oldest" has been living in Nova Scotia for the last few years and heads for the eastern US this spring. This is after spending New Year with his friends in Lima Peru where he graduated from high school. The "youngest" is in Mumbai India visiting his friends after graduating from high school in that city. He will head back to Montreal this spring.
This coming Monday we will be what we consider normal in our house..........4 people, 4 counties! I will be in Buenos Aires Argentina. The Brit will be in either Santiago Chile or Quito Ecuador (TBA) The Oldest will be in Lima Peru and the Youngest will be in Mumbai India. How can this possibly be normal?
