Merry Christmas 2008

This is the time of the year where you should be surrounded by family, eating lots of good food, drinking a lot whilst opening a heap of presents. That's usually how I celebrate Christmas with my family back at home in Sydney. Where we'd all crash one family's house, bring food, turn on the air-conditioning and just eateateat.

I absolutely LOVE our family parties.

Just not when I'm on the other side of the hemisphere!

And I hate that China makes Christmas so damn commercial. They don't even make it a public holiday yet they have Christmas decorations all over the place and massive Christmas trees outside every shopping centre.

At least this Christmas I didn't have to host any parties! Well, unless you count 5 other friends in my dorm room eating take out (which we had a hella hard time getting delivered) and instant noodles whilst watching movies.

Since we went out for drinks last night we spent more than half of today sleeping and recuperating. I was pretty happy to just stay in my pj's and within the comfort and warmth of the dorm building.

So I did have a quiet Christmas and wasn't surrounded by my regular, loud family, but I still had a good night with banana pizza and my new family.


-Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
