Jeff and I thought this time of year would be the hardest for us in Seoul, but we have had plenty to keep us busy. Of course we miss family, friends, snow, Christmas cookies and all the holiday cheer, but we have also found ways to bring Christmas to us...Baileys and coffee, Christmas music and movies, friends, shopping, Christmas parties, Baileys and coffee, presents and did I mention Baileys and coffee (Christmas just wouldn't be the same without it). We even have our own little Korean-size Christmas tree.

Christmas with Megan!
Christmas shopping was a lot of fun this year. We went to some of the tourist areas and bought some souvenirs and traditional Korean gifts to send home. We even have Skype dates set up with family to open Christmas gifts (Jeff and I already opened ours...Dec. 12 as soon as the package arrived!! We just couldn't wait!)
We have been busy at school getting ready for Christmas. We had a party on Christmas Eve and Jeff got to be Santa! The kids have been learning Christmas carols and all about Christmas. Many people here don't celebrate Christmas, and if they do, it's much different from the USA.

We are getting excited for our trip to China! We will be leaving Monday, December 27 for Beijing, and we'll be spending 5 days there.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!
