The week of Christmas has arrived! Did it ever come fast!
Christmas Eve was a normal workday for me. Since Christmas is not a big holiday in Korea, none of the
kids said much about it. I
continued ending class with Christmas carols, but other than that, it was a
normal day. Scott did invite Aimee
and I to a Christmas Eve dinner, but we both had to decline the invitation for
work. That night I stayed at home.
Christmas day was a holiday and so we made plans with Casey
and Amanda to spend the holiday together.
That morning, I opened a card from my cousin Samantha and my Grandma
& Grandpa and an e-card from my parents! My grandma also gave me a little package to bring with me
and open on Christmas morning. I
also had the nice ornament my Grandpa gave me before I left.
Grandma's homemade candy! Always thinking of me :)
After lunch, I met Aimee and we went to the beach. My philosophy was if I can’t have a
white Christmas, at least I am going to visit the beach for the first time on
Christmas! We had a lot of fun
walking, collecting shells and taking more pictures. We couldn’t stay long because we were meeting the other
girls. Amanda lives less than a 10-minute
walk from Aimee’s apartment, which is awesome! We made our way there along with our contributions to
the Christmas meal. Veggies and
some pastries from Aimee, ham from me.
Soon after we arrived, Amanda and Casey started preparing a traditional
Christmas meal with veggies, potatoes, ham and gravy. We all stuffed ourselves! For dessert Casey made some delicious chocolate
cookies! We talked for the rest of
the afternoon and played some euchre!
Before leaving we watched a Christmas movie. Although Christmas was not
the same I am used to, and I really missed my family, I didn’t spend it alone and we still had a lovely
afternoon!
Those guys wanted to go for a little Christmas dip
Christmas at the beach!
