Merry Christmas my lovely readers! I wish you all happiness and good cheer during the holiday season and of course, a fabulous New Year.
Thanks for dropping by today but there is no Korean culture post today or “favourites of 2012″. Instead I wanted to share a little of my family’s Christmas with you. In case you didn’t read my Christmas post from 2010, it’s kind of cute (if I do say so myself) story and will give you a overview of my family’s Christmas traditions.
Christmas is a major holiday for many Canadians – most of us take time off work, either to spend with family (like I do) or to go on vacation (usually somewhere warm or to ski). For me, it was always time to go home to my parents (or my grandparents when I was a child), decorate a Christmas tree, eat lots of delicious food (including tons of cookies) and watch the World Junior Hockey Championships (WJHC). No joke, sports – especially hockey – are huge in my family.
But I’ve been away from home for a few Christmases – once in Scotland and twice in Korea. Weirdly, I was more homesick in Scotland because the traditions were similar to Canada’s and it made me miss home. Christmas in Korea is quite different – I wrote about my first Christmas in Korea – so it was more of an adventure and therefore, I didn’t feel homesick.
Want to see this year’s Christmas? Here’s my Christmas in pictures. ^^
The Christmas lights on the outside our my parent’s house.
Our Christmas tree – did I decorate it well?
Beautiful winter stream but not frozen yet
Everything is beautiful and white after the first snow.
So now that you’ve seen my Christmas, what is your Christmas like?
