Happy Holidays and Days and Days and Days

We celebrated Spanish and US and Dutch holidays. This blog started with Thanksgiving and several holidays (and pages) later, I decided to post them separately though together. Our holidays (and days and days and days) included Thanksgiving, St. Nicholas Day, Christmas, New Years, Three Kings Day (Epiphany), and the return to school ... which the adults in the house consider a holiday. Whew. Now we rest until Fallas at the end of March - which is the biggest, loudest, longest celebration in Valencia.

Before the details ...

• Thank you to everyone who sent Christmas cards and pictures. They remind us of the greatest gifts in our lives - our family and friends.
• Thank you to everyone who did NOT send Christmas cards or pictures. They remind us of how we usually don't get our act together to send cards and pictures either. We understand. We would appreciate it if you would bring them in person (with a jar or two of peanut butter).
• Thank you to our new friends and family in Valencia. They remind us that language and culture and traditions do not separate us; they bring us together.
