3) An Aloe Vera plant makes a good substitute for a Christmas tree.
4) Nothing is closed on Christmas in Korea.
5) If there is no snow for Christmas, frozen cow-pesticide will suffice...
6) We went to an art gallery on Christmas.
7) Picasso and Monet have paintings on display in Seoul right now!
8) NANTA rocks my socks off!
9) NANTA is a Korean performance (similar to STOMP) that combines comedy, drumming, martial arts, and cooking.

14) If you don't have mom's home cookin' on Christmas Eve, then Dobulgi and Tuna Gimbap will do.
15) Seeing your Principal dressed up like Santa brightens up the Christmas Eve workday!
16) Christmas is always better when you get to spend it with a good friend.
We really, really want to say 'THANK YOU!' for all the presents and cards, it was very special being able to open up some presents on Christmas, even though it made us miss our families back home. We miss everyone, love you all, and hope you had a Merry Christmas!
