Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Posted by natalievonderlehr

Cancelled flights, living far-far away from your home and dear people, financial or health-related issues, studies/work obligations, coming from a culture where the celebration of Christmas is not typical, and so on… Sometimes, due to different circumstances, we need to make a plan and have a holiday on our own.
