The fog was back again this morning for my drive to work; yes, that's right, I had to work on Christmas Day, what a bummer. I left at noon so it wasn't too bad. I guess that I'd rather have the 6 days of holiday over here in December versus 1 back home so I can't complain. I was really surprised how many of the Muslims and Hindus at my work came in and wished me a Merry Christmas, in fact, no one over here even uses the stupid 'Happy Holidays' line. I had to laugh also because those same guys at my work convinced us the bosses to let us leave early for Christmas. I kept wanting to say, 'wait a minute, none of you even celebrate Christmas' but I wasn't complaining. So much for being offensive to other faiths.
O.K., here's a few of our photos. We are planning some big trips this year and we just bought a ton of stuff so we felt like a small Christmas was in order.
Here's our little tree.
Fancy Feast for Kitty!
A little cat nip always does the trick.
Very nice!
Hand lotion! Some people get everything.
So the only thing I wanted for Christmas was a set of these traditional Pakistan clothes (Paki pajamas). All of the Pakis wear them here and they look so comfortable. Camille was able to run them down for me so here is my best modeling work. I have to admit that they are more comfortable than I had imagined. These are worn by the Pakis to work, shopping, walks on the beach, and everywhere else. I hope to get plenty of use out of these but don't tell Camille.
There's even a pocket.... what more could you ask for.
