Welcome to the December #TrailingSpouseStories blog crawl!This December, we talk about the much anticipated and somehow dreaded, ultra sentimental Christmas holidays. How were the Christmas holidays outside your home country? How is it similar and different? What did you enjoy most spending Christmas abroad?Find out how we spend our holidays and how it feels to spend it in different corners of the globe, so don't forget to read more stories of fellow trailing spouses at the end of this blogpost.
This was the year we were supposed to have a snowy white Christmas. This was the year we were supposed to be away from family for the first time in our lives. Well, maybe not the first time. At least for one of us.
I wasn’t excited at the prospect
of freezing my body’s extremities or being huddled around a decorative
non-functioning electric fireplace or having to shovel snow off the car. And
most definitely not excited to be the one to dress the kids everyday in 3 to 4
layers of clothing every time we need to step out the door.
