It's Christmas time!!

Christmas is very different for me this year...although I don't get to participate in many of the traditions my family has, I still have good people to spend time with this year.

Some of the other foreigners and I had a nice Christmas party complete with games, movies and a white elephant gift exchange.

Yesterday I got a heavy package full of presents from my family!!! Now that I'm on my own with no one to tell me not to open the presents...I want to open all of them now! :) Here's my lovely little tree with all my presents! The lights on the tree only worked for three uses and then died...I don't think they had the ability to convert to the type of power over here.
