"It's comin' on Christmas........." I've been thinking that ever since Thanksgiving. No tree, no stockings, no wreath, and no river to skate away on. I had to work on Christmas Eve too, and knew that if I ever had to go to school on Christmas Eve when I was a kid I would have cried. I didn't cry surprisingly; I knew that Christmas at home would be much different this year anyway. There aren't many people who can say that they spent Christmas in a foreign country, but there were enough for me to get together with and have a story to tell. There were only about ten of us, eating tons of food and playing games, and talking a lot about Korea. Most of us have similar experiences, similar frustrations, and similar fascinations with this country. Its nice to know that others feel the same way and have given up things to be over here as well. Everyday is an adventure, and it won't go on forever. We even swapped gifts,though it was kinda nice to not get caught up in the materialistic craze of the season. I have officially surpassed the 3 month mark. The major holidays are just about over though, and I must admit that I am a little glad about it.
Here is Peter, who did an excellant job as Santa. Didn't miss his cue or complain about wearing that poorly made beardfor over 1/2 an hour.
