Coming to work on the 20^th the first people we faced after coming to my office were, guess who? Malicija and her guard Sonja.

Ivy (impatiently): What did you fucked up this time, Malicija?

I thought she screwed up something very seriously, something that will require discipline and punishment, but when she told us that she lost her patience and she swore the lady who impolitely demanded her services for her pet after her working hours, I was relieved. Sonja confirmed her story since the lady complained to the chief of reception who called her to investigate the incident. Sonja said the lady is nuts and that she pushed Malicija to her limits until she broke and swore at her. We let Lidija handle it. And she did a great job telling her that although she was provoked, she had no right to be impolite to the lady and if that or similar happens in the future, she should call her or my Prince and Ivy who will intervene. Lidija told her that she is forgiven this time, but if she does it again, she will financially punish her.

My luvs also had one situation to solve. Namely, some cooks and helpers in the kitchen had a food fight after closing the restaurant. My Prince deeply hates food fighting arguing that such a thing is very immoral and disrespectful toward poor and homeless people. (He was poor and hungry many times. He learned to be grateful and to appreciate when he had something to eat). Since food fight never happened in the Hotel before and it wasn’t forbidden by the rules and bylaws, my Prince gave them a verbal warning that future participants in the food fighting will be momentarily dismissed. Then he asked Lidija to add food fighting prohibition to the rules and regulation list and to replace the old lists with new ones.

We prepared everything for Mister “XXX’s” family’s arrival and stay in the Hotel. The night my luvs went to Capitol airport (22^{nd after midnight}) to pick them up with dad Boss, I felt lonely and I went to the children’s room and took them to my bed while they were sleeping. Oh, my, I enjoyed kissing and patting their heads while they were laying on my chest. Then I slept until my luvs returned. The three of us were so happy that we jumped out of the bed and ran toward them to shower them with kisses and “love yous”. While my Prince was with the children in their room playing and talking, my Ivy and I cuddled and smooched while she was telling me about their trip.

She said how dad Boss unintentionally and unknowingly ruined her plan to give a blowjob to my Prince on the way to Capitol asking her to drive the other van so he can talk to my Prince and spend some time with him since they haven’t had a chance to be together much lately. Anyway, they met Mister “XXX’s” family when they landed and she said they treated my luvs like long-time friends. (It was Mister ”XXX’s” merit who always spoke best about us). On their way back, one of his sons-in-law drove the other van following them while Mister “XXX#, his wife, his oldest son, and dad Boss drove with my luvs. She told me she was bored since he asked them numerous questions about us and the children, but mostly about the business. Since he fully trust my Prince, he wanted to hear firsthand how things are going in the Hotel. He also commended solving the “homeless food crises” we had a while ago. After accommodating Mister “XXX’s” family in the Hotel, they drove him and his wife to dad Boss’s house. Then they came home.

During his staying, Mister “XXX” and dad Boss visited us in the Hotel several times. He wanted to see how things are working in practice. He also talked to some department chiefs and the workers and he was pleased to see and hear good things. My luvs and Lidija put a few very trustful people in charge of Mister “XXX’s” family who served them as their guides and translators when going to the city. They also visited the Christmas party for our workers on 23^rd. They were thrilled with the organization of the party and my luvs’ stage performance. Irena told me later she cried hearing them singing and playing guitars. It was very emotional. Of course, Mister “XXX’s” family members also congratulated them on their excellent performance.

The 24th was also a very occupied day for everyone; the “last hour” preparations for Christmas, helping Mister “XXX” and his family, helping our moms at home, and similar. I was sooooo excited. Very early in the morning on the 25^th, our children woke up and went straight to the Christmas tree that was fully occupied with various wrapped gifts. (My Fran and Stipe drove all the gifts from their house and Mister “XXX” family, and quietly put them under the tree). We had to tell them to be patient a little bit more until the whole family gathers for Christmas breakfast after which we’ll be opening our gifts. My Prince was a little bit sentimental; he missed his dad, uncle, mom Boss and his sister and he discretely walked down to our beach and cried. Of course, my Ivy went after him to comfort him.

After the morning routine, my parents, Fran and Stipe, Lidija and Ivan came to help us in setting the tables, and chairs and to set everything for the breakfast. Since we didn’t have enough tables and chairs for everyone, we borrowed some from the Hotel earlier, and since we don’t have such a big space in the living room, we set some tables on the balcony and in the kitchen. My Prince and Ivy, Lidija, Fran, and Stipe will be waiters serving the meals and beverages during the breakfast since moms cooked for days and we wanted them to rest. Talking about cooking, we were all involved. Malicija too when she wasn’t in the grocery shopping with our dads and Silvano. She wasn’t helping my luvs, but our moms. To my surprise, she didn’t complain, she didn’t murmur, but she was happy that our moms saw her as helpful and taught her a few basic things about cooking.

Anyway, when all family gathered, our house was overcrowded, but I looooved it. We had a family Christmas breakfast together after which the presents opening followed. When my Prince opened our present for him and read what we and our children wrote about how much we love him and how much he means to us, he was very touched that he started to cry hugging, kissing, and thanking us. Then he took the nail and the hammer and put them in a very visible place in our living room. We all unwrapped our gifts and we liked what we received. My Ivy teased Lidija again and Ivan died laughing seeing it: sexy underwear and charger with 4 rechargeable batteries with a note: “for your vibrator so you don’t have to spend money on new batteries every while”. Mister “XXX” approached my Prince at the end and said:

- My family and I have two gifts for you, my son. The first one you received during the opening of the gifts. Before you say anything, I want you to know that I know your feelings about material gifts, but please, check your bank account. My Prince took his smartphone and entered his bank account which was bigger by 10 000 Euros. He was shocked and he said he can’t and won’t accept it. He demanded to purchase the money back, but dad Boss and Mister “XXX” calmed him down saying:

- Prince, listen, please …. We know how much you like to help people. 5 000 Euros is for helping those you think need help, and the other 5 000 Euros is for buying things for your wives and children. Spend the money on them.

That was satisfactory to him. He calmed down and apologized for his reaction. (Dad Boss told my Ivy and me later that he felt sorry for my Prince spending almost all his money on others and work hard to compensate it. Therefore, he suggested giving that amount of money to him so he can help poor). Then he gave the second gift to Ivy and me saying:

- He surely won’t take this gift, but I want you two to place this in the most visible place in the Hotel, like behind the reception desk so everyone could see it.

Now, my Prince was very nervous. He wanted to see it, but Mister “XXX” didn’t let him, saying that he will see it when it will be hung on the wall. He made him promise he will not take it down. (It was a wooden plaquette with golden letters given by Mister "XXX's" tourism and hotel management company, his associates and business partners who recognize and confirm my Prince as the best and most successful uneducated and untrained young ultimate hotel manager in the last five years). Oh, my, he didn’t like it when he saw what it is written on it when my Fran hung it where it was suggested. He always made dissatisfied faces and “pfffed” whenever he passed by the reception desk, he turned his head to the other side. But he kept the promise he won’t take it down. Believe me, he would gladly crush it and turn it to dust if he could. We were very proud of him saying that he deserved that recognition: He disagrees. But my Fran agrees and besides confirming his acknowledgment, he also enjoy in his “suffering”. ?

Now, back to the 25^th. All the family was involved in the cleaning. Even our guest insisted to help. Then my Fran told him about the evening program. He expected an angry reaction from him. And he was angry, but he smiled and hugging him very firmly to the edge of the pain, told him:

- Of course, we’ll do it, Fran, because I don’t want to ruin the guests’ expectations and the mood. I have a feeling you planned to tell me this at the last moment. I know you know I don’t like it and you still did it ignoring the fact I could have other plans or some intervention … Don’t ever do this again or I will let Ivy teach you some common sense!

My Fran apologized and he made him promise he won’t do it ever again. I had to tell him that I warned him but he didn’t listen. We went to work and returned home for family lunch at my parents after which we returned home to welcome the twins and their parents. We exchanged gifts and had a good time talking while our children enjoyed playing together. It melted our hearts.

Since we bought Christmas tickets for them in the Hotel, they drove the twins and our children. Now, I don’t want to bother you with the details of the Christmas supper and the program in the Hotel. I would just say that everything was perfect. Mister “XXX’s” family was delighted to hear my luvs’ performance and received very long and loud applause. Almost forgot to mention: we as Hotel donated Christmas gifts and money to the orphanage, the Association of the deaf and mute, the Psoriasis association, and two senior homes we help every month. Plus, we, the three of us financially helped some poor families and individuals. Indeed, just as I expected, this Christmas was the best Christmas ever.

Mister “XXX” and his family are on their way to the Capitol airport now, as I post this diary. They are returning to the USA to spend New Year’s Eve at their homes. (It was very hard for me to pick what to translate for you from my very long diary. I hope I did a good job. If you are interested in knowing more, please, ask and I will gladly tell you).
