So this is Xmas..

















Liverpool, -7 degrees outside! Yes, -7 degrees on the day time. Everywhere out there is white, like a proper white Christmas. For a brazilian like me who had never seen snow until I came to Europe over 7 years ago it's like a dream coming true. Well, not quite, by now I can say I am more than over all this snow.
It's Sunday, boxing day, and the Nolan's family is all indoors (nobody wants to go out and 'face the freaking weather' - read this on a scouse accent!). Big John is reading the papers in front of the TV upset that there's no Horse Racing today, Linda is looking after te house, making sure everyone is fed, the house is clean and everyone is being looked after. John - mine John - is just being John and winding everyone up....
Christmas in Family... priceless.... When I was a kid, back in Brazil, my father would never make any effort to make Christmas special to me or my little sister. I guess because he was too depressed missing my mom. Baring in mind all his reasons, the truth is that our Christmas used to be pretty sad and lonely so I can say that I appreciate ever year I spend the Christmas with the Nolan's Family oops, correcting, mine Nolan family.

Merry Christmas everyone...
