Christmas Celebration

Even 6000 miles away from home and family, I have been blessed with many friends in the Gunsan area and they all made my Christmas special and one to remember for sure. Christmas eve, about 15 of us went over to my good friend and neighbor, Joanna's house for a 14 course meal complete with turkey, appetizers, soup, and desserts. She is polish, so I am in love with potato polish salad. It was good times, good food, and a nice way to spend Christmas eve. We even had a fun gift exchange game at the end of the night,I ended up with a Johnny Depp DVD called "Public Enemies."

On Christmas day, I woke up to some wonderful leftovers from the day before and my friend Joanna stayed over, so neither of us were alone on Christmas morning as no one should be. Joanna gave me a bunch facial packets and some other beauty products for Christmas, bringing it back from her house, like she was Santa delivering gifts, she is sweet.

We then went over to another one of our friends locally to visit, eat some more, and drink wine. We had music, good company, pizza, and dancing and card playing. There was about 10 of us and we had a blast.



This was the early group Christmas day at Jocelyns...Merry Christmas everyone!!



This is Me, Aaron, Eric, and Joanna on Christmas day. These are all teachers in the Gunsan area.



This was a silly picture, Aaron had put on some crazy outfit and we all made a funny pose. The girl in the pink is Jocelyn, she is from England and the Christmas party was at her house. She also teaches in the Gunsan area.



Aaron and Eric, good looking guys, huh!



This is Joanna and Jim Oh. Jim Oh actually lives in New York, but is Korean. He was visiting his family for the holidays and ended up at our Christmas party because of mutual friends. We had some good conversations about sports, since we are both big baseball fans.



This is Aaron, Alexander, and Sarah at Joanna's on Christmas eve. I have no idea what Alexander is laughing at, but it was all good times for sure. Aaron is from Cleveland, Sarah is from New Zealand, and Alexander is from San Francisco, all teachers in the Gunsan area.



This is Kenton and I at Joanna's Christmas Eve. Kenton is from Canada and is also a teacher in Gunsan.



This is Me, Elizabeth, who is from South Carolina, Jocelyn, and Elizabeth'a dog that her husband brought from the states when he arrived a few weeks ago. They both will be teaching out here in Gunsan. Having the dog there made me miss my Jezzy!!



Me, Joanna, and Sarah.
