Christmas in Korea

Hey everyone! Christmas is now past but I hoped it found you well. On our end of the ocean, I guess we got a little more of a white Christmas than the rest of you. Below is a picture of one of the snowstorms that we were hit with. It's the most snow (and the worst) that has been in this area in at least 70 years (I heard as much as 100, but who can be sure?). It was actually declared a natural disaster zone.


Here's a picture of a snowman that we made in the park across the street. Although this snowman has three parts, Korean ones only have two. Fortunately, there was enough snow that we could make it in our traditional fashion. We made it after school one night, but it was apparently missing by the next morning. If you see him, let us know.



Here's a picture of our Christmas tree. It's a full four feet tall and it was only $7 from Home Plus. Christmas was great but we really missed all of our friends and family. Through the wonders of modern technology, we were able to connect with much of our family, which was great.Finally, here is Emily with the Kimchi mascot. We went to the Kimchi festival a few weeks ago, which was a lot of kimchi, and this fellow was the mascot. Emily doesn't like mascots, but she was kind enough to pose for this photo.

We miss you all and hope that your Christmas was great. So, until later, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
