I can't believe that it is already Christmas Eve! Yesterday was my last day of work for the year, and I am so excited to be on break for a while! The weather is holding out for today, and Bret and I are looking forward to going into the city to check out the Christmas sights and sounds. We are going to have our annual peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks and hope to see something resembling Christmas since we'll be unable to drive around looking at christmas lights!
We've really made the most of the season so far here. Originally in an attempt to combat feeling lonely and homesick around the holidays, it has really made it feel more like home! Our tree is adorned with the few ornaments we've collected here, and the few sent from overseas by our families, as well as with bottle caps collected throughout our journey. Our advent calendar is nearly empty, and our entertainment center is full of cards and Christmas trinkets from here and abroad. Several gifts are nestled under the tree, waiting to be opened on Christmas morning, and we've managed to watch one Christmas movie a week! Our movies have included Love Actually, Elf, Home Alone 2, and Home Alone and we'll finish the season off with It's A Wonderful Life tomorrow. Although we couldn't find the classics A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, we are already looking forward to watching them next year!
Here's wishing you a warm and happy holiday! Cheers!
