Happy Festivus!

Well it's that time of year again. It is again Christmas on the peninsula and I am settling in for a very merry one. I have Alastair Sim's Scrooge, Miracle on 34th Street, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Trailer Park Boys Dear Santa Go Fuck Yourself. The classics.

Actually Christmas snuck up on me this year. I left work friday saying "have a good weekend" and my boss said "Merry Christmas" and it dawned on me that Sunday would in fact be Christmas. I guess with everything happening in Korea both personally and politically it was easy to let it slip by, and it almost did. However, Friday night I decorated a tree properly that I had put up and put lights on a while back. I had Elvis' Christmas album and then watched Rudolph and Home Alone. Today was a final shopping day (not crazy like last minute shopping in Canada is, just regular Korean Saturday shopping crazy......... ok so I guess it's about the same). Tonight is eating and watching more Christmas movies before a Sunday of gift swapping and skype chats with the family in Canada and Scotland.

So for everyone in Korea, Canada or anywhere else. Merry Christmas!
