That time of year has arrived again. You know, the season of joy, giving, and binge eating. And, for the first time in my life, I'm faced with the dreaded concept of Christmas without my family. Scratch that, previously-dreaded concept. Now that I'm in this position, I realize it really isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. After all, I'm surrounded by friends here on this side of the globe that love me, cherish me, and genuinely want to be with me. Isn't that the basis of a family? People who, whether biologically related or not, surround you with love and a sense that you are, indeed, home.
Other than being away from my (biological) family this holiday season, things around here are uneventful. The cafeteria is closed until January 11th, meaning those of us living in a flat without a kitchen have to fend for ourselves. It's not so bad though; me and my flatmate, Kellie, enjoyed a lovely dish of cous-cous and courgettes, accompanied by fried plantains that a fellow YWAMer donated to our quaint meal. Looking forward to cooking our Christmas feast soon!
That's all for now folks; just a brief update before I phase out over the Christmas BANG! Much love and a very Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a Good Night!
