oh how time flies! i can't believe it's december already. i'm so excited; in 20 days i'll be jumping onto a plane and coming home! there are many things to do between now and then, though...christmas is a busy time of year around the world!
caitlin and lauren have a christmas "show" on Dec 17, and i'm excited to go and see what they've been practicing at nursery school. i have been privy to some song rehearsals here at home, and they are so cute trying to remember the actions and words to their new songs. many of the christmas songs talk about Baby Jesus, and the girls are full of questions about Him and the christmas story, as they've never heard it before. i have bought them a children's bible for christmas which should be well received. i'm also pleased to announce that i'm taking the girls to sunday school tomorrow! neil and joanne have said it's alright as long as the girls want to go, so hopefully they will still be in the mood come tomorrow morning.
last night i was at a Pampered Chef party, put on by a girl from my home group. it wasn't all that different from a Canadian Pampered Chef party...same gadgets and all. an interesting point of the evening was when the Pampered Chef rep referred to dried cranberries as an "American" food. i really had to laugh. apparently dried cranberries are quite hard to find and often found in the "World Food" aisle of the grocery store.
on thursday i'm going to the Belfast Market, which is on every year for the month of December. people from all over Europe come to set up their stalls and sell food, crafts, jewellery, etc. it's supposed to be quite the fun time!
other than that, life is fairly normal. it rains and rains here. and it's still only +6 outside! it gets dark at around 4:00pm.
