【美坛综艺秀假日篇】My Christmas Holiday in 2023

This Christmat holiday was kind of speical. We did't  get white Chrismas and the weather was warmer than normal.  I felt very relaxing since there was no out of town travelling and no big party. I watched the White Christmas shared by WaterFowl, without have to feel the cold. I listen to the songs and musics shared by friends in MYSJ.

Besides that,  I have done  something I never did before.  In the morning of Dec 24, I ran 5K to the GYM and then stayed in the swimming pool for 1 hour. I could not say I swam for 1 hour because I was still learning swimming. After that I took a 45 minutes station-bike group class.  In the afternoon, I made some holiday sweets- Almond cookie and Panettone cake. They might not look that good, but tasted really good. 

On the day of Christmas, the gym was close. In the morning, I ran in our neighborhood. I am not a runner. I only run occationally for 1k, 2k, 3k or 4k, maximum 5k depending of the result of the mental fight between one me and the other me. This day, since I had time and the weather was not very cold, I decided to see if I was able to run 10k. Guess what? I did it. In the afternoon, I started preparing the Christmas dinner.

Since there was only three of us, I didn't make many dishes. But still I baked a small  fresh turkey ( 9lb). This probably the third turkey I baked in the past 20 years. Most time I  baked duck , instend of turkey.
