We will be traveling a lot in December and so I wanted to decorate our house early for Christmas so we could enjoy it a little longer. Yesterday while Kate was sleeping, I brought out our little Charlie Brown Christmas Tree and decorated it with lights and little ornaments. Its funny what joy simple things like decorating a Christmas tree can bring to your heart, and a tiny one at that.
Dave is still in Guwahati and will be there for two more weeks. He'll be home for a week and then we'll go to a Regional Conference that we have every three years. They're expecting about 300 people and it should be a good time of catching up with old friends. It will be Kate's first train ride so that'll definitley be an adventure for all of us. Then one of our friends is getting married in Nagaland and we are planning to go and be a part of that. On Christmas, one of my best friends Liz, is flying from Africa to Kolkata to meet us and so we will be picking her up at the airport and hanging out with her there for a few days before coming home. I am so looking forward to her coming her and spending time with us.
All that to say I'm decorating our home and playing Christmas carols now so that we can enjoy a touch of Christmas at home before all of our travels.
