MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope this holiday season is full of joy, peace and love for you!
This time of the year is hard to be away from home.
I kind of miss all the overdone Christmas decorations and overplayed Christmas songs.
I am so use to the American holiday season where you are practically bombarded by the Christmas feeling……but here, Christmas passes like any other day.
So this year, I wanted to bring some of that holiday spirit here to Ecuador.
I baked cookies and cakes with my host family, made Christmas cards with my English class, decorated a tree with my host brother and strung garland and lights around my apartment…it helps.
I have to admit, however, that without over-consumerism taking over the holiday season, it makes it a little easier to focus on the true blessings of Christmas. Thanks to everyone who has sent lovely cards, emails and packages. Sending my love <3
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
PS. Can't wait for my family to visit....16 days!!! Best birthday present I could ask for, unless they could squeeze all my friends into their luggage too :)

Merry Christmas to you, too. And don't worry about the lack of "American Christmas spirit." I, personally, have skipped out on the holiday (in America).
Christmas is more of a feeling than a once a year event. It's a feeling of charity, love and kindness. You can have it whenever you want, wherever you want.
May your life be filled with many blessings!
