A while ago I went for our fall business meeting
in Boston. As always it’s great to see colleagues from all over the world and
talk about the upcoming year in the pink-blue world of Cultural Care Au Pair.
I spent two extra days in Boston before going home, where I
got to see friends. It’s always lovely to come there, and I am lucky to have a
job that allows me to travel to places I love.
I had decided before I left that I would start my Christmas
shopping. I love bringing home gifts from the USA that is hard to find here in
Sweden + that would be so much more expensive to buy here. I spent basically
1,5 full days shopping and ended up buying a ton of stuff – for myself…. The
last few hours I pulled myself together and went to buy a few gifts that I
intended to give to my father, brother in law and possibly my boyfriend.
Two weeks after I had come home, my boyfriend found the pile
of things intended for Christmas and said “Oh, who is this for, I love this”
and of course I couldn’t resist and gave it all to him.
So, I am back on square zero in terms of Christmas gifts, my
closet is full of clothes for myself and the bank account is a little emptier
than it was before. Why does it sound familiar? Because it’s what usually
happens every time I go to the USA. And I love it.
Happy Christmas shopping,Victoria
