Winter has come here in KSA. Although it's always sunny, the wind feels really cold even at noontime. People started wearing winter apparels; thick clothes and body warmers were all in shops' display.
The kids in our school are spending the holidays in their home country, some will go somewhere else. Sadly, we won't have any days off from work even if all the kids will be on holiday. We are still asking if we can have a free day on the 24th. Well, that's the downside of working in a Muslim country especially when you're a Christian, we cannot have Christmas holidays. Still, I'm grateful that things are working smoothly in our school.
This Christmas is the second time that Michael and I will be celebrating it as husband and wife. It's unimaginable how time flies swiftly. This will the first time that I will be spending Christmas outside the Philippines. We miss the events and celebrations this holiday season - reunion, parties, misa de gallo, presents, Christmas carols, nativity play, and Filipino foods! Anyway, we are also preparing foods for relatives who will visit us on Christmas day here. It won't be as festive and happy as what we have back home, but it will still be fun.
I am grateful for all 2015 had been. 2015 has brought a lot of new adventures and experiences and I am quite ready for the next year. Have a happy holidays! :)
