So, it is a few days before Christmas; 8 to be exact. It’s my first Christmas for a couple of things: 1. Being outside of the USA. Never had I ever passed a Christmas, with or without my family, outside of the States. 2. Being far (and I mean far) away from my family and loved ones. Yup. 3. I think it’s my first Christmas without a Christmas tree. I hope it’s up at my house in Jersey or that would be a true tragedy. 4. Being in Peru! 5. Being in the campo in Peru! Haha. 6. Eating dinner made in a firewood stove. Well, get my point? The list can go on…

So maybe Christmas isn’t what I’m used to. I’m not going to lie but it doesn’t even feel like Christmas here. It could be that I didn’t get to go Willowbrook Mall and see the North Jersey madness while listening to Christmas music in every store I entered. Yea, as much as I hate that shit..it’s part of me and I definitely will NOT be getting that here. Haha. So yea, it’s going to be different (sometimes sad too) but it’ll be fine. Experiences are all we got and I’m just filling myself up with more of them…it’s kinda like getting a shitload of presents. I said..kinda.

Well, I hope that everyone in the land of amazing has an awesome holiday season.
Fo’ real. I am doing well and I can’t wait for the next year. 2010 is going to be the shit. It’ll be the first year I spend more time in Peru than in the States which would naturally mean I’ll have some awesome stories to tell.

Love you all! <3
