Merry Christmas from the other side of the world!





As everyone at home gets ready to tuck into their beds on Christmas Eve, we're already half-way through Christmas Day! Hannah and Cora are pictured here with our short-stay canines, as well as their Christmas gifts (cell phone for Hannah and new fashionable coat for Cora; Rebecca will be shopping in Canada for her Christmas gifts).

Christmas isn't celebrated as widely (and as lavishly) here in Korea as it is in North America. As a result, business is carrying on as usual in our neighbourhood today. Our recycling had to go out this morning, and on a nearby building that is being constructed, men are busy painting and working. Traffic is humming and children are playing outside - all of the regular sounds of a weekday. Inside our apartment, we have spent the morning hanging out, eating lots of food and calling family from home. We miss you!! Rebecca, we especially miss you, and love you so much. Merry Christmas!!
