One of the really cool presents we got this Christmas was a chocolate fondue set from my parents. While I’m not much of a chocolate eater, I have to confess that I do enjoy consuming it when it’s done in a fondue. Not only is it fun, but it’s something you can do with a [...]

So, did everyone have a great Christmas? I sure did, as did Em and Millie. I have to confess that, despite being 32 years-old, I still have trouble getting to sleep on Christmas Eve night. When I do manage to get to sleep I usually wake up every hour or so in anticipation that it’s [...]

Ahh… Christmas Eve. I don’t mind Christmas Eve much, but having to wait for Christmas is a bit of a drag. In addition, having to work Christmas Eve also isn’t that great. It’s not like back home where, even though most of us have to work on Christmas Eve, people don’t really work and instead [...]

Christmas Day had been planned for a while and I had put several things aside for the special day. As I’ve mentioned a few hundred times leading up [...]

Christmas Day is indeed a special day made even more special that I could share it with my folks opening presents in the morning. Mum and Dad came from the hotel where I cooked up for them a very quick and unspectacular Christmas breakfast of chili eggs, hash browns, sausage, and toast, with hot cups [...]

As you know by now, my parents came to visit both Em and I here in Korea during the 2008 Christmas season. Actually, they had come from Beijing, with Em, on the their first leg of their around the world trip. Having them come to Korea, a little out of the way, really made both [...]
