A Few Christmas Party Pictures
Christmas afternoon I spent shopping for my last-minute gifts.:) You can tell I'm a true procrastinator--in the US I wouldn't have the option of shopping on Christmas day, so I get it done the day before. But in Thailand, well, that's a different story. Christmas is not a national holiday here, so everything is open for business as usual.
I managed to be home by 5:00 to finish getting ready for our 7:00 party at Tom and Candice's. It was a really nice time; we each brought a snack, and it turned out to be a cheese and cracker theme with a few veggies and cookies thrown in. All very delicious!
Nice pose, Ashley and Joelle! (and Eliza grinning from ear to ear in the background!:)

After eating, we sang some Christmas carols, played one of those crazy group games (meaning FUN), and then opened our gifts.
Beth had my name and gave me awesome gifts, including a coffee cup, a bag of coffee, a pack of cookies, and money for a massage or two! Wow, how could anyone go wrong with a gift like that??!! THANKS a BUNCH, Beth!
