It is Christmas Eve, almost midnight here and the party organized by the hotel is over …
We come back to our room but we are not tired at all … we just reflect on how different it is this Christmas … “just” the three of us, this time far away from the hectic days and hours before Christmas, the stressful shopping race, the packing, traveling, planning before gathering with family … even if we miss them, we also feel in peace and happy this way too.
In Sweden and Italy our families and friends are getting ready to celebrate … we FaceTimed with grandparents, already received some messages and exchanged pictures with friends.
It is over midnight here … it is officially Christmas Day!
We select one funny picture of the three of us and send our greetings via WhatsApp … “Melly Chlistmas to evelyone🎄”
We decide to stay one day longer in Hoi An and leave to Hà Nội on Friday.
We fall asleep and wake up around 9 am and … what do we find under our Christmas tree ???

“Merry Christmas to you !!! Also from Vietnam ”
Also them in Vietnam but where ?
– Hà Nội –
– No way! What are the odds ???! –
We decide to meet and our Christmas Day turned to be a reunion with dear friends Hanna, Johan and the kids for a very nice dinner!
The best gift is the one unexpected !🎁
