homesick at christmas time

So I finally found a catholic mass in english here in breda, its in st. martinuskerk in breda princenhage and they only do it every sunday of the month at 2pm. Most of the churchgoers are Filipinos with their Dutch husbands and children, but other people are welcome as well.

They put up a Belen (Nativity) outside the church, with a real donkey!




and here is a picture with my new filipina friend Mylaine who is married to a Dutch man who is---- the father of the boyfriend of a colleague at NHTV.Did you get it?
Look at all the snow and how I am wearing 4 layers of shirts/sweater and winter coat--making me look like a michelin man! weeheeee



im a bit homesick, but also spending a lot of time in the hospital as fritz's mom is still in ICU. Its my first time away from home for Christmas, and its a blue Christmas...:(
