merry christmas with love

hey all, it's christmas! color me jazzed!!!!

i am spending my holiday in taraz and it's going pretty well so far. today we'll have our christmas dinner. . . i made homemade buckeyes. i'm so brining the midwest to the central asian. i'm stoked.

of course i miss you all and wish i was home with you all instead of halfway around the world, but it's not all bad.

of course now that i'm typing i can't think of anything interesting to tell you about. . . we're just having our typical bonding time of americans in the kz.

my host mom is super cute. she sells avon and she got me some hand cream from avon for christmas because, she said, "it has a christmas tree on it and it has english writing on it. . . " she also said that she would take off of work early on christmas to make me bishbarmak (the kazakh national dish that they make for anything resembling a special occasion -- complete with homemade horse sausage!) and then we will drink coffee the living room and drink "100 ml" of vodka -- she said, "i know you don't drink vodka on your christmas, but we are in our kazakhstan now, you must drink to celebrate your holiday here!" twist my arm. . .

so i pretty much just wanted to say merry christmas to everyone. and i've said that, so there. now go and do it. HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS, DAMMIT!!

Ash, just got done watching an episode that introduced Mr. Hanky,, the holiday poo.
OH !!!!
on this Christmas morning I feel as if I reach half way 'round this world reach out with a Hug. I can almost, but it's raining and at least 42f. with a gentle southerly breeze bringing along with it a more gentle moisture from the south, smells like a Tennesse rain. yep, went right through Paducah after picking up some Mephis atmosphere. Good golly Miss Molly, wish you were here.!.
........XXOOX

Ryan gets aXXO

congrats w/ the useless nuts. anyway, who's recipe did you use? and now i know not to send chocolate or peanutbutter. maybe i send to u small tins of dead fish and american cigarettes? by-the-bye the KZ cheese is the same, and the solid molassis has not gone south.
