although i HATE winter and the -50 temperatures we've had lately (2nd coldest inhabited place in the world, next to Dzalinda, Siberia. yay), i adore the Christmas season and all the memories, traditions, praying, shopping, wrapping, eating, singing, decorating, unwrapping, hugs, kisses, and everything else...
it seems like only yesterday when tuan was constantly calling/texting me long distance in Lethbridge. we weren't surprised to see that we had racked up $400 each on the next phone bill. and here i am, wishing we had $800 so i could call him when i wanted haha! we've always had a hard time being away from one another, and this is no exception. but knowing that hes going to have a blast down there and that i got my present early, it makes it a little bit easier.
my family consists of my mom, dad, and brother, as well as my extra large extended family. a lot of our family can't be here this Christmas, and we've had to change many things since our numbers have decreased. its sad, really, because all of us being together makes the holidays that much more special. but i've come to realize that no matter where my family is, we're thinking of one another and sending our love. miss you guys.
happy holidays everyone!
