This year my mom and I spent Christmas at my Uncle's house. Last year, the french side of the family came, and this year the Hong Kong side of the family came. Maybe next year everyone will be here :D.
My uncle just finished building his home. It feels so modern, but with lots of beautiful antique decorations. My aunt made lasagna! yum! We had cheese platters, cakes, cookies. I was so full lol. It was a small gathering with immediate family members, but one of my uncle's close friend stopped by with his lovely Thai Ridgeback dog. I have never seen one in the states before.
I got to talk to my 2 cousins a lot this time. One is studying Law in the states, so he is staying in LA right now. He was showing me how to do magic tricks. We all talked about food, games, movies, etc. I felt like I got to know them better which was really nice. Overall, it was such a nice and relaxing day.

Because everyone lives in different country, it's one of those time that I really cherish since we all go to see each others. At the same time, it also reminds me that everyone in my family is really amazing. Not only that they all could speak so many languages (My uncle from Hong Kong speaks 8+ languages fluently, my cousin speaks 6+), they are also extremely accomplished. One of my uncle is a brain/heart surgeon that was the youngest graduate from a famous school in Germany. My other uncle have been an amazing executive producer for so many major studios. My grandfather was an ambassador for the United Nation. My mom is a business woman that built her business from the ground up. The list goes on. I feel so inspired by everyone in my family.
