just got this note ::
Dear Ze,
In my offline life, I am recently married and this is the first Christmas we will be spending together and also without any other family here. My parents didn't want to come and I don't think his family will be able to afford it. I was really bummed and have since realized we don't have any Christmas traditions together like in our separate families.
I want to start some new traditions and am looking for some inspiration. Since you know a lot of people, I was wondering if you could have people show or talk about their unique winter holiday traditions that they love (or hate).
-Karin
any ideas?
