Merry Christmas

---

What am I supposed to do being so far from my family and friends on this wonderful holiday? I am in a country that doesn't really acknowledge the day yet alone celebrate it. Well, there's only one option...give them an experience of a Western Christmas PArty. DONE!!!!!

Invitations went out last week stating it's Western Christmas Party, bring ur local favorite dish to share, and to RSVP. It's Wednesday now and I have heard nothing from one of the two schools that IO work at. I did hear form the people I work the closest with. So I am guaranteed at least 10 people. I also invited the entire English department of a 8,000 student school. I don't even know how many people just post the invites everywhere, talk to people, and we'll see. I'm a little nervous about having too much food and not enough people or the other way around.!!!! Or the bigger is that I don't have enough room in my flat!!!!

So, it's Wednesday. I have most things done, party games found, food planned, rearranging the furniture, and the homemade tree. The tree is of paper chains, paper snowflakes, origami dragons or cranes, candy on a string, popcorn with dates on a string and lights. I think this is my best tree yet and that says a lot. I'm limited on supplies, decorations even if I wanted to buy them, trees, and anything truly with the Christmas spirit. This tree has creativity, style, class, and the Christmas spirit for just the fact that my Chinese mates decorated their first Christmas ever with me and my homemade decorations that everyone participated in!

Damn i am truly lucky!

Here are a couple of pics of my truly amazing tree.

I am soooo wanting to be home with my family and friends celebrating this day. I soooo want to be home and hug and kiss everyone twice!!!!!
Have a very Merry Christmas and an amazing New Year!
Hug and kiss extra for me and know that I'll be missing everyone!!!!!

Luv Luv!!!!
