Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Thailand! I'm definitely NOT having a White Christmas this year, but being from California I usually don't anyways! It's actually fairly cold here in Chiang Mai, so it doesn't feel that far off from what I'm used to. But it still doesn't feel anything like Christmas, without the overdone commercialism and stress that comes along with holidays in the US. I don't miss any of that.

It is my second Christmas away from home, and although I'm still sad that I won't be seeing my family and friends, it's a little easier the second time. I'll be spending Christmas with a handful of people that I've met along the way. Not sure what we will do yet, but I can guarentee it will involve some form of eating. Maybe we will go to one of the restaurants that makes up a special Christmas dinner, or maybe we will have Thai food from a street cart. Either way, I will be with friends, and that is what matters.

Wishing everyone whose reading this a wonderful Christmas, wherever you are.
