Feliz Navidad! Yes today is Christmas, and currently I am listening to "Celtic Christmas" and various other christmas songs on ITunes. As many of you know I had the opportunity to celebrate it in Chile with my host family. I did not have much idea what was going to happen, and at times neither did my host family. But, it ended up being very fun and I want to share with you all what I did these past few days. Yesterday was the 24th and we did not do much during the day. Then in the evening we had a very nice dinner. Then after dinner we opened presents. I got my host family some really neat things, and they got me some pretty earrings and a beautiful artesan necklace. I saw them all the time at markets, but never bought one. So I am please to have one now. It was a very relaxing evening, and we watched Hook together. That was fun and then Cecilia went to sleep, and I watched The Grinch and Rudolph in Spanish. Twas very fun. I also played cribbage against myself and won. Haha I need to find people to play with. My family in the states really knew what would make me happy. Even though I am very far from them, I know they still love me, and the reality is Christmas is about love and celebrating the greatest expression of love. God gave us Jesus so we could live forever. Wow. That's pretty lazer in itself. Tonight I'll be going out probably with some Chilean friends so that should be nice, but I am not forgetting the reason for the season. And the kindness should last all year. Lets do little acts of love each day to help the world. That's the best way to be like Jesus. Love people for who they are and help. Happy Christmas everyone! Feliz Navida
d, prospero año y felizidad. hearts.
