Christmas is just around the corner and normally I spend Christmas with my parents. This year is different though. I’m doing my exchange year and I’m 5000 miles away from home. I realize that things are going to be different this year and I’m super excited but I’m also sad that it’s not going to be like it always was. „Schnitzel“ on Christmas Eve, going on a „Spaziergang“ and waiting for Santa to come, unwrapping presents before dinner…
This year I’m going to experience American Christmas with my host family, who I’m super thankful for. And even though I’m not spending Christmas with my family, I know they’ll be thinking of me and I’ll be thinking of them.
I´m super thankful for everyone I met during the first months of my exchange year, and I’m super thankful for my family and friends back home. You don’t really realize that until the holidays come around or there’s a special occasion. It’s okay to miss people and it’s okay to leave your hometown behind to live your life. The people you want to keep in your life will stay automatically.
