Christmas time at Bistro Jezz is quite the thing. We are closed from december 24 to january 3rd inclusively, but appart from that we had the restaurant booked from early september for the weeks before Xmas. This already meant a lot of work for all of us waiters and cooks, but an accidental death in my boss' family pretty much messed up all the plans. We had a literally crazy Xmas time at work and the last week before Xmas I worked everyday, up to 14 hours a day. So basically no life, no life. My after shift wine tasting and cheese eating were rare calm moments I enjoyed the best I could, right before crawling in bed, my body being sore everywhere, especially in the thighs. I miss belly dancing classes that stopped for Christmas time, as they represented a great relief from work and school, plus a sweet time spent with my mom and sister...

| My house with the light decorations put up by my daddy, with Xmas snow - now we have way more tho :3 |
This year my dad bought huge decorations to hang up in the big pine tree in our backyard, and it is really pretty up close. Was a hard work putting them on, but the result is stunning in real life. It might be easier to figure out the task if one pictures the fact that the tree house is already pretty high up in the tree....

| Bistro Jezz and Xmas decorations - Merry Xmas!!! |
On the next to last day of work, we had our first -30 degrees here. After 2 minutes of walk on my way to work, I had both my lashes and hair frozen with a good layer of frost. That was quite funny, you know, me turning into the nine tail fox :)
We made the Christmas meal for all the family at my brother's place yesterday and ate tons of goodies. So much I had no place for the awesome Christmas cake my dad had brought. I am sure I'll get other occasions to eat it this winter...
