Ich bin back in den USA nach der schönsten Weihnachtszeit, die man sich vorstellen kann! Good chance to practice my German — after a couple of decades of trying to actually communicate with the in-laws, I’m up to making small talk and bromides about the weather (schnee = snow, got it!). Really coming along! Anyway, it’s so nice to see you all again! Hope your holidays were as magical as ours were (non-baseball fanning division of holidays, that is!
