Christmas
People have been asking my about Christmas here and how it´s celebrated. It´s not as big of a deal as it is in the US. Some houses have lights and trees, but not everyone. There´s not much gift giving, mostly just for the kids. People make tamales and stay up until midnight on Christmas Eve and shoot off fireworks. It didn´t feel like Christmas at all. There was no Christmas music, or decorations, or snow, or presents. I had a nice Christmas, but it was sad not being home. I miss you all and Merry Christmas!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
We missed you on Christmas Eve this year! I hope you have a very Happy New Year 2008!!!
Lots of love,

I missed you this Christmas too, Kristyn. It's funny how grandma's house gets more and more crowded every Christmas Eve---as we multiply and as kids get bigger---but this year it felt pretty empty without you. Hopefully you can come home next year.
I was at my dad's for New Year's so I don't get calls or text messages, but I got yours when I came home on Tuesday. I need to put more money on my phone card so I can call you soon. Can't wait to hear about your New Year's Eve festivities.
Love you. Miss you.
