Don't worry Matt, I will freeze some baking for you to eat when you get home. :) (I actually haven't done any baking yet this year - it will have to be after-christmas baking as I am behind!)

Matt,
How fortunate you are to experience another culture and their customs expecially during the holidays! Thanks for the Christmas greeting!
Cheers

Matt I do not bitch about missing you, I bitch about you going out with other chicks ... other than that this long distance relationship has been good for the both of us. Christmas wasn't the same without you, however we can have our own Christmas in three weeks ... I hope (damn UofR)
I Love you!!!
And I miss everything about you!!!! Yes everything!!
