Up until the visit of Sandra and Flo we were well on track for a pretty much stress-less time ahead of Christmas. It all got a bit messy when Kerstin showed the first signs of flu on Sunday after their departure and latest on Monday morning we knew that the flu has stricken: fever, headache and many other signs forced her into bed all week and knocked her out. As a consequence she missed the Christmas get-together of Bella Familia on Wednesday evening and as Markus had to go to Frankfurt that day we were only present with some chilli, which was liked by all family members.
The weekend we spent in Oberwart where we were invited for a delicious “Tafelspitz” at family Kojnek – Michaela, Klaus and Nikolaus – and while Kerstin rested in the evening in front of the log-fire with Markus’ mom, Markus went to watch the last home-game of his team, the Oberwart Gunners ahead of Christmas – a clear and undisputed victory against WBC Kraftwerk Wels.
Due to the flu last week both of us “lost” precious time for the search and acquisition of presents and thus the last days before Christmas are pretty stressful. Luckily it’s rather quiet at work, but as we are not the only ones who have to rush to the shops. Tuesday night we will pack our car, put on Chris Rea’s “Driving Home for Christmas” and then head for Hoerbranz for our Christmas break. On the 24th we will decorate the Christmas tree, the boys will get together in Bregenz at the “Esel” for one or the other mulled wine and in the evening we will hopefully get some of our wishes fulfilled.
We can’t wait for the holidays to come and wish all of you merry and peaceful Christmas!
Kerstin & Markus
