Getting Ready for Christmas

Believe me, I do get the irony of a Turkish girl living in Israel getting a little too excited about Christmas, but it just is the case. As December is fast approaching, decorations, menus and wardrobe preparations are on the way. Sadly this year, I'll be celebrating the holidays with out my favorite Christmas buddies - who are leaving for a new life in Australia. We'll miss you loads Gil & Dafna.

Remembering Freddie Mercury

Music has always been important in our household, but Queen was a particularly important band for my father, and thus, we are raised on their many immaculate albums. 

That's why every year on this day, we remember Freddie Mercury with all his glory and listen to his music all day long. 

Christmas Soundtrack

My favorite time of the year is fast approaching, and of course I'm living in a land oblivious to all the excitement. Still, a dear friend of mine who spent five years in Ireland and I put together elaborate Christmas dinners for the past two years that I've been living in Tel Aviv. This year our soundtrack will include the new She & Him album I've been waiting for the last few months. 

 Thank you Zooey Deschanel and Matt Ward for making a Turkish/Israeli girl very happy.
