Last year there was the Mexican Feast, and this year I spent Christmas in Amsterdam.
It was a nice, easy, 1 hour flight and then voila - I was in another country ready to party.
The weather was very much the same as in London - wet and windy. No white Christmas this year... but I've got high hopes for next year.
We visited the red light district, a few coffee shops, the erotica museum, the Ice bar & Heineken brewery and even Anne Frank's house. We even went on a canal tour the first evening to see the city lights.
This year I received a few lovely gifts that I'm very thankful for - especially since friends and family are on the other side of the world. All except 2 were practical gifts - I received several hair accessories/products, a beanie, a new wallet.. and then there was the HotS pre-order (which isn't released until March) and also money towards fixing my tattoo.
Christmas Day was a chilled affair - at least for me. We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe (pretty much everything else was booked out or closed) - which was nice - and then spent the rest of the day sleeping/relaxing.
Back in the country now, getting ready for the new year. I believe I get to set off my own fireworks - so I'm super excited about that.
The best place to eat in Amsterdam - I think we all agreed - was either the floating Chinese restaurant or a little cafe in the main street (I think it was called B&B or something like that). SO GOOD!! Just thought I'd let you all know, just in case you ever get to go.
