Less then One Week 'Til Christmas.


Well, here we are halfway through all of our Christmas Festivities and we're having a blast. My office held a Christmas party, on Friday the 12th (I think) and boy was that an experience. Most of our office is Japanese Nationals and we went to a traditional Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurant (no shoes, sitting on the floor, etc.). We mixed all of our own sauces and seasonings and then cooked all of our own food in a pot of boiling water. It's similar to Yakiniku style dining but instead of fire you use water. Then we went to the Shidax... our local karoake place. I have never seen so many people DYING to sing karaoke. My co-workers and I sang a number of Christmas songs and some Weird Al. I can't wait to get a group of friends together and go out and do it again.

This Friday was the 730th Squadron Christmas Party, Nathan and I got all dressed up (he even bought a suit) and had a good time drinking and dancing with our friends. Yes, Nathan danced too :) I bought new shoes for the event that gave me quite a few blisters. I've been tip-toeing around the house to avoid the pain. I should mention that my Dad picked the dress that I wore while I visited in November and I received quite a few compliments. Thanks Dad!!

Now, it is Sunday, and we're halfway through the Christmas Festivities. We have one Christmas party on the 23rd, where we're going to play White Elephant and Wii. Then the rest of the week is ours to relax and enjoy some time off. We even get a week break in our school schedule for Christmas, which is pretty awesome if you ask me. Happy Holidays Everyone!
