Hmm, I don't like it when church interferes with regular life too much. I'm not used to that at all. We have this religion course in school, and we had to write a letter to God. I just wrote that I don't believe in God and that I find the course ridiculous, because this year it's more about christianity and less about the social themes, like last year. So I basically broke down christianity, but all the teacher had to say was that I wrote a really a nice letter. It's totally cool here to have your own opinion about God and christianity, even though we're thought about them at school. I think that teachers in the US would react quite differently.

We also have presents on Christmas, but we buy them for our family members. In our family, we have a family trip in October/November (I don't know if you remember that I told you about it a few weeks ago) and then we write down everyone's names. We fold the little papers and put them in a little box, and we each take out a paper with a name. Then we buy a present for that person. This year it's really tricky because I'm supposed to buy a present for my mother. She usually gets the present that I give to my person, but this year I have to get it on my own, and still keep it a secret that I'm actually buying her a present. Tricky stuff.
