And the year before (2010) we spent Christmas in Bali on our Honeymoon...
Christmas 2008 I spent Christmas day giving to the children and young people at the Fore-Fote drum & dance camp on the island of Roume, Guinea, West Africa...Here they are lined up to receive what the foreigners had brought them.
I've been away from home during the Holidays...but for some reason I'm having a bit of a hard time with spending Christmas here in our home away from home in Chiang Mai. Temperatures are still reaching up to 90 degrees almost everyday, I haven't bought a single gift and it just doesn't feel like Christmas...
So even though we're not traveling (can't travel anyway at 35 weeks pregnant!) and we're not going to be able to spend time with family, we do have a lot to do during this 2 week staycation...like the final preparations for the arrival of our son!
Some of the to-do list includes:
Pack the hospital bag
Tour the hospital
Put the car seat in the car
Hang curtains in the nursery
Make my birthing necklace
Finish setting up the guest room for my folks arrival on Feb. 1st.
I'd also like to put my feet up, read some books and watch some movies!
We also have a priority to spend as much time together as possible, because come late January, almost everything is going to change...
