Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well, it's hard to believe that Christmas time is here! In Nicaragua they were in the festive feeling back in November, but there is a decided lack of Christmas decorations here in Costa Rica short of a few spartan sprigs of tinsel lining a store or two. As such, it only scarcely feels as though it is the holiday season. Even pushing your way through a Wal-Mart at 6pm Christmas Eve would seem like a welcome festive experience right about now!!! So, as hectic as it can be there, I hope, as you are all nestled infront of your Christmas trees, eating Christmas dinners that don't involve rice and beans, and are safe from the snow outside that you're thankful for all that the holiday season has to offer. Yes, even the cold!! I miss everyone, and I hope that you all enjoy the holidays! I'm sorry that I can't be there to join you for them! All the best in the New Year, and I look forward to seeing everyone when I come back in January. We are still not sure of the exact dates, but we'll post the information as soon as we know!
Best Wishes, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
