'Tis the Season to be Jolly

Well, here it is. Christmas time again. Although there is no snow on the ground, and no chill in the air the Christmas season is indeed upon us. Jeff and I decided last weekend that it was time for us to celebrate a familiar holiday. Christmas had hit the stores in Taiwan. It was time.

This will be our first Christmas abroad.
Here I am puttin lights on our tree. After returning from a Sunday afternoon shopping trip (which we will never do again as Sunday afternoons are absolute chaos - you can't even get down the rows in the supermarkets) we put up our tree only to realize that we had forgotten to buy any lights. So, back the the store we went.
We bought gold and red balls to hang from our tree. However, they had no strings to hang them from. So out came the sewing kit.
Here is the final product.
