Holidays

Well Thanksgiving has just passed, and I had a great time...

I got a turkey from the local BBQ shop, yeah the owner is a Texan and really did a good job of cooking it up. I took an hour metro ride to the southern part of Shanghai, carrying an 18 lbs. turkey, to my friend's house. Tons of people showed up and brought a great deal of food. It was a great time, good food, wine and beer, and good friends. I got home kind of late, but that was well worth it.

Now Christmas is coming up... So, Chris and I went to Ikea and bought a tree with some ornaments to decorate it with it. We also got some other things for out rooms. I spent a bit of time putting this tree up and expanding all of the branches! Then I invited Joanna over and we all decorated the tree. It was her first time to decorate a tree! So, we let her put on the giant gold star topper, even though she could barely reach it....

Well, Xmas is around the corner, so we are going to have a party for everyone at some point... I'll keep you posted.
