Wow it’s December an
d that means the joy of Christmas is moving onto our boat. This month our theme for school is singing Christmas Carols, learning German Poems and talking about Christmas. One of Carlos questions was tonight, Mum, really tell me the truth, is Santa fake …..I know he is not real, there is no Nikolaus, no Father Christmas and no Tooth Fairy…. Its you guys…..well what do you do when your 7 year old ask you such serious question in a very serious manner….. Luckily it was already dark so he could not see my 
smile and my face when I was looking for the right answer. I decided to tell him the truth…. I whispered in his ear that we are the ones buying the presents 
and that there is no Santa Claus. Of course he told Julia straight away and all I could hear from Julia’s corner, Carlos I don’t want to hear that secret……oh man life is not easy sometimes. My parents have send Julia and Carlos an Advent Calendar from Playmobil. Awesome…. I thought …. Since we started opening the little doors I have to deal with Carlos pestering me….oh mummy I cannot wait until the 24th I have to open them all….. he is hanging on my legs and bagging me to let him open up all 24 doors at once…..OMG…. I keep telling him that this is now his time to learn to be patience ….he is so funny and makes me laugh a lot.
We have just been given a Monopoly game. Since Carlos has just discovered his love for money….he loves playing this game. It is the
New Zealand Edition and it includes an Eftpos machine, you do not deal with money only with Credit Cards. It took Sven and me a while to get used to this style, but the children love it and it is fun to play with both of them and to see how excited they get when they buy New Zealand property and rake in the rent.
We had plans to leave the DR today, but the weather window has shifted a bit and so we are going to wait for another few days for the wind and swell to settle before setting sails. I would not be surprised if we leave into a new adventure on a new Moon......
