O Holy night

Christmas was lovely  in Scotland, though no snow it was almost just as beautiful as Christmas in Finland. We spent Christmas in the house with just the family and then I visited Edinburgh's Christmas market with my friends.
This time of the year is probably the hardest for an exchange student. You're in a different country and though with a family, quite alone and you don't get to see your real family during the holidays. With me not being too fond of my host family and not really fitting in it was made that bit harder. Edinburgh being such a wintry and lovely city during the holidays did help and my friends being extremely kind and understanding, almost made it all better.
