The description of the day you spent with your friend is very nice, what I liked the most was the nature and being with people you love, I think it's the most genuine thing there is.
My Christmas time was quiet, with my family, phone calls from my aunt and uncle .... my aunt doesn't want me to see her, but I could hear her, and that's important, friends who gave me beautiful messages of support that I didn't expect.
Now I am working but well, happy and for the new year.... pasta... I will cook Italian pasta! It will be quiet, with the family, but nothing too complicated. Peace and harmony.
