...it's cold, it's freezing around here in this small town _ Azeitão_ where we usually spend this time of the year; 2 days ago the thermoter of the car started blinking, it was 3 degrees, then 2,5 degrees; Thanks God when we arrived here it was already 4. It's really Christmas time!!!ui:]brrrrrr.
I'm all by self in this really cold living room... not quite alone on that conner over there... lots of packets and presents, because yesterday my brother and his wife were here helping out in several things preparing these busy following days, and left all the presents behind a sofa near by the fire place. Normally we've them very well kept somewhere 'till midnight of today's date. Well, this year seams like this festive time is longer, because we started earlier to prepare it, since we are the main house to receive everyone from the family, on the 25, opS TOMOROW!?
