Hello to the Best Family,
Just time for a quick note to tell you we miss you. Christmas pictures, Christmas Dances, Drivers Permits, dance lessons, American Ninja Warrior, preschool, Hobbitt Legos, trips to the zoo with accidents, getting Christmas trees, new home construction, making cookies and neighborhood service projects....we miss it all. I find myself looking for an email and pictures every day because I know what a busy and fun season this is for families.
There is so little mention of Christmas here. As I mentioned, the stores were filled with decorations to buy for your home by October 1. But there are no carolers, Christmas displays, decorations in the streets, Santas in the mall, Christmas activities or movies. etc. People only discuss parties, drinking and "going to the place of my birth" (home). We have discovered that most people do not know any of the Christmas carols. That makes it very different...especially at church. They are trying to sing one a week. We spend a great deal of time driving all over 4 townships and 2 cities but we have only seen 2 outdoor lights on homes! But maybe it is just too hot to even do anything like that!
Love mom
