christmas

santa brought new friends for christmas

traditional Christmas dinner with pork roast, german potato salad, german red cabbage, and my childhood

favorite of cream peas

traditional italian dessert with panodoro cake and, well, pie, which is not italian. we'll just say torta di chocolate.

slightly.

we always have christmas hats.
