...or so I have been told. It is slightly hard to believe that the season is upon us when it is in the 80s to 90s. Also hard to comprehend when my Christmas plans involve the beaches of Thailand with friends and without any family. It is true, the visa run IS upon me and I must depart from this beloved country of mine. The plan for Christmas?...your guess is as good as mine. Will it involve caroling? Will it involve new and strange Christmas traditions that don't make sense to me? Will it involve a guitar on some beach? It is yet to be determined.
I have gotten home sick only a few times; and it always happens when I am alone, listening to Christmas music and looking at pictures of family and friends dressed in Christmas sweaters. A few days ago I turned on the AC full blast in my room, threw on a sweater and poured myself a cup of tea...closest thing I have gotten to Seattle Christmas weather thus far.
Woohoo!
Anyway, Merry Merry Christmas to all of you. I love you dearly!

We are wondering if it is Christmas as well here in HI. Here we have decorated palm trees, not Christmas trees.
ReplyDeleteWe drove past Westlake Center in Seattle yesterday, and let me assure you that it is definitely Christmas. The big star on what used to be The Bon Marche was lit up, trees were lit, and the throng of pedestrians were unusually jovial. It seems that everyone was shopping on the 19th of December. I can only say that none of the fluff makes a hill of beans worth of difference if we don't get the message. So blessings to you wherever you are. The gift was given to you. I love you. We missed having you come up front in the assembly with all of the alumni to sing Carol of the Bells.... Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away... Christmas is here, bringing good cheer, to young and old, meek and the bold. Mr. Harvey calls it the carol on too much caffeine. :) Here's to you, girl!
