Happy Holidays!

What do you think of when someone says "Happy Holidays!"? I think of sledding, skiing, shopping and hot apple cider with my friends. This year is different, I am thinking about returning home. We will be heading back to CO in two days and I have mixed emotions. Of course, I'm completely ecstatic to be going back but somehow I know that a piece of me will be left in Germany. This has become a second home and I am going to miss it even just for the three week break. On the other hand, I feel the anticipation of getting back to my normal routine and life of the USA. I'll have to experiment with my two different lives in two different places. On that note, here is a little holiday quiz that I came up with.

Are you a poplar bear, a snowman or a Christmas tree?

If you got mostly a's, you are a polar bear.

If you got mostly b's, you are a snowman.

If you got mostly c's, you are a Christmas tree.

Or are you a Christmassnowbear? (a mix of everything)
