O Christmas Treeeee

So last night we got our Christmas tree and discovered that it didn't fit in our stand. In the process of trying to deal with it, we broke our mop bucket and dirtied like every single towel in the house. Eventually we called our landlord and got a different stand. Btw, our tree is freaking massive.

Last night a few people made cards to send home, but I had already decided to wait until I see my family to give them anything.

Tonight it's free time and I'm baking cookies. Partially because it's our work partner appreciation night on Friday, and partially because my house always has a LOT of cookies around Christmas. We did have a lot of cookies in the house earlier this week (thanks to daddy and amy!) but now they are mostly gone.

So yeah, that's the latest in Christmas preparations. I don't think any of us are too excited for Christmas. Benno is probably the most excited and he`s realizing more and more that it`s going to suck to be away from home. We're all very focused on next rotation because we're slowly but surely beginning to hate it here.
