I can't believe it's almost Christmas. I finally realized it was almost Christmas when the locals had more "New Year" decorations than I did! We finally put up our tiny tree in the apartment this week and also watched the epic "Christmas Vacation". I finally managed to do some Christmas shopping and got a hair cut today. Shopping is not one of my favorite things to do here, so I was thankful for being pretty productive yesterday and today. Venturing out is always, well, an adventure, so I was grateful to have Mary with me today as we shopped.
This is going to be such a busy week. Wednesday I have an English Christmas Party, Thursday is Christmas Eve, Christmas Day we will be having a women's event, then youth and children's events the days after that! Hectic times of planning, but it's worth it.
The Christmas/New Year season will be busy, so I'm already looking forward to getting away next month. I'll be heading to Germany for a conference. My roommate and I will go a couple days early and enjoy Frankfurt. That getaway will come at just the right time, I think!
I'm also looking forward to quietly reflecting on the birth of my Savior this week.

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas! Sounds like you have got the Christmas spirit.
How exciting to get to go to Germany for a few days. I hope it's like a small vacation. I would love to go with you. Love ya The Old Art Teacher.
Frankfurt-- I think it's a huge city. That's where we landed on our trip. Your tree is cute, and I love the items on the table. I'm sure it's an adventure to shop there, but I bet it's fun, too. We'll be thinking about you and praying for your team as you have special activities this week. Love!
