Our Christmas 2008 lasted from November when we set up a christmas tree till January, when Orthodox christmas take place. We enjoyed that time with guests (Jelena's mom and our best friends from Poland). As in mid December we all got infected one by one by some virus, we spent three weeks at home - eating, drinking, singing, playing wii and running with kids.
