Merry Christmas to All!!!

I hope that all of you find yourselves warm, well fed, and surrounded with love and friendship today.

Chris and I spent the morning volunteering at the migrant school handing out school supplies, warm hats, cola, and cookies to children whose parents work so hard to put this city together... yet do not receive the privlege of public education.

Despite the fact that my body is currently warring with my third (and most dreadful) cold yet... I have had a wonderful Christmas. I will tell you more about it and post pictures tomorrow.

I wanted to stay up late this evening to call all of you back home in the states, however, I'm having the most difficult time getting money out of China and into my bank account, so at the moment I haven't the money to call any of you who aren't on skype and aren't online.

Presents are on the way as well... Hang tight, they'll get there eventually :O)

It's time for me to get some rest, take care and have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Love,
Jackie

We missed you at dinner this year and you were on my mind all day. We made sure to pull out the ice cream maker in your honor and made some more yummy eggnog ice cream.

I heard a rumor you might be on around 10. I forgot to ask am/pm but I have had Skype up for a while tonight and will turn it on in the morning for a bit just in case...

I love you and miss you soooo much and I hope your Chinese Christmas was absolutely phenomenal...

I'll have to catch up on your blog later: sorry I've been MIA but I haven't really been on the net lately. Has your package arrived yet?
