Christmas!
This past Christmas was my favorite of the 3 I've spent overseas. The past 2 years I had felt down during Christmas because I couldn't be with my family, but this year that feeling never came. Maybe I'm getting more and more adjusted to living over here.
I spent Christmas Eve with a team family, and we spent the night playing cards, watching 2 versions of A Christmas Carol, and eating fried chicken. Can there be a better Christmas Eve celebration? I think not.
This was my favorite version of A Christmas Carol.
This version stunk.
Christmas Day we got up and opened presents, then ate some food and played with said presents. That night we had a team party where we ate more food and played more games. The following day I took a big group of friends (not strangers) to a certain city of antiquity. All in all, it was a great Christmas.
My Christmas Haul:
6 Books on the History and Culture of a Certain City (for a course I'm taking in January)
A Plastic (But Very Sturdy) Pirate Sword (for hitting the little team kids)
A Nike + iPod Sport Kit (I bought that myself back in November, but it still counts)
Plenty of Candy!
I can't believe you left the calendar Virg and I got you off the list of Christmas gifts! And I know that had to be the best gift you've ever had.
