I've had my first Christmas away from home ever in life, and really, it wasn't very traumatic or distressing for me. I slept in a lot, considering I've been keeping pretty early hours for those kindergarten buggers this month -_- Then the coworkers and I hit the grocery store for supplies for Christmas lunch/dinner. Our menu was assorted: corn, bacon wrapped around cocktail wieners, sushi, mushrooms, chicken, croissants, and mashed potatoes. We were going to make fajitas, but the guacamole didn't work out, the chicken and cheese got cold, and there was no sour cream to begin with, so we made a last minute menu alteration and had breakfast tacos instead ^.^
Why was your Christmas feast so weird? You might be wondering. Where's the bird? Also a good question. Simple answer, too. No oven, no microwave, and rotisserie isn't too big here. We take what we can get :-)
So we sat on the floor and ate out of pie tins (no table or chairs and not enough plates) and watched White Christmas on a computer. At one point my friend dropped the plate of eggs into soapy water (no counters for the plates, and we were using the drawers as makeshift counter space), but we rinsed them off, fried them up a bit more to steam off the water, and resolved that if any of us got food poisoning, we'd all call in and get an extra holiday :-D
Dessert was a lovely homemade cheesecake, made from my partially-molded cream cheese, but we didn't eat the moldy part, natch. So not a bad Christmas, really. I talked to the fam via webcam, because we're super-modern that way, heehee.
Less than six weeks till I'm back home, y'all!! I'm starting to get a little excited (and tired of teaching, lol).
