I've had a couple of request for pictures of our Christmas tree and decorations, so here they are. I have been trying to get things all organized and decorated (including switching out embassy furniture a few times!!) and am still working on it. Things take much longer here to get done than they do in the US (no quick runs to Target or Walmart for everything you need), but I was excited to put the Christmas decorations up to detract from the "undoneness" that I can find myself easily obsessing over.
The kids are thrilled with all the decorations and they keep talking about Christmas and Santa coming. Leah continually thinks that Christmas is "tomorrow". I'm sure when it's finally the 24th and Christmas really is tomorrow, she won't believe it.
Wish I could show you a picture of the tree lit. We bought lights here (no spare converter to plug in and use our lights from the US) and two days later, 2 of the 5 strands we bought aren't working. And I bought them new, and she plugged them in before I bought them to show me they were working. It's nice to know that the lights made in China and sent to the US are better quality than the lights made in China and sold in China. I think this experience has taught me that even Christmas lights can be bootleg. Oh China....
