reflections on christmas 2008...

Sitting on the couch in view of the tree with a fire going and Christmas music in the air...what a place to be! Most gifts have been unwrapped and put away and the excitement is gone...for now. Even though its not over yet, Christmas 2008 has been a memorable one to say the least! What has made this Christmas different from years past is the unique international flair. Here are just a few of the "international" highlights...

Spent Christmas eve in Mexico with my brother, sister in law and her family

Helped deliver gifts to a refugee family from Iraq

Got a phone call from a friend in Benin, West Africa

Listened to my mom practice her Chinese over the phone with a new friend

Talked a lot about my upcoming trip to Kosovo

WOW, what a Christmas! So much has happened and the day is not even half over yet! Amazing!
