Korean Christmas

Christmas sure is a busy time, no matter where you are. The weekend kicked off with a Christmas party at my house. A festive feeling was created with the decorations and the tree, but, break out the beer and alcohol and you always have a party! Saturday saw dinner and then the bars in Hongdae. I had brought wine to dinner, and it was the death of us because I forgot to bring a corkscrew and we had a hard time opening it. That became the butt of our jokes for the night. Getting back home at 8am and up again at 11am was not so good, and I was exhausted the next day for ice skating. But we had an awesome time on the ice and I nearly knocked down a few kids. But I managed not to fall! The phone rang early Monday morning and I opened my gifts as everyone listened on the other end. What geeks we are! The weekend closed with a Christmas Cruise of the Han River that runs through Seoul. I am used to eating turkey on Christmas day, but who can complain with a fat steak from the Outback Steakhouse!? Thanks everyone for the gifts, cards and phone calls that made it an unforgetable Christmas!!
