it's december?

I can't believe that I have been gone for 3 months and that it is almost Christmas! My host family put up some Christmas lights yesterday and I was shocked. Partly because I did not know that Christmas lights were used here but also because it does not feel like Christmas season at all! It is weird to hear Christmas music playing--most with an island beat worked in-- while wearing skirts and t-shirts. Hope you are enjoying the beginning of the Christmas season where ever you are!
