December 24, 2003Merry Christmas!
IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!! I am very excited. I slept in late, then watched a bit of Phoenix Nights (some classic brit comedy) with Pat and Laura down in reception, and then I went looking for rye bread in the town centre. I havent been updating this lately becuase I havent been leaving the hostel that much becuase of my cold. Here I am though. I couldnt find any rye bread unfortunetly. Only one bakery even makes it, and they were sold out, BUT I found a nice loaf of pumpernickel, so I am satisfied. I made my grandpa's swedish gingerbread yesterday, and even though they dont look quite right, they taste like the real thing. This afternoon I will attempt to make sill salad. Yesterday I bought all the pickled herring Safeway had just so I could make the salad. That sounds like a lot of pickled herring, but really it wasnt. Coryna is coming over when she is done work and we are going to eat and eat and eat. She dropped off her cabbage rolls and perogies this morning and I will pick up some more cranberry juice on the way home. Its strange to be away from home and family for christmas, but I am having fun anyways. My room is decorated and my stocking is hung. Posted by Liz on December 24, 2003 07:49 AM

Lots of love, mum Merry Christmas Lizzie! Grama and I were just reading your blog w/ the tears running down our cheeks...haha, we miss you bunches.

Hi and Merry Christmas, Every 1/2 hour they felt a strong need for a frantic search for our cats We called it safari time .One of the aunts went to bed and forgot to take out her bottom teeth, woke up with them stuck to her bum and almost stepped on them when they fell off. The same Aunt lives at "The Lodge" where one of her 102 year old fellow inmates thought she was a man and demanded proof that she wasn't - ie a firm demand she be allowed to feel her boobs to see if she was in fact a woman. Aunt- "Dial 604...." Anyway you get the idea. I should shut up because you will be writing simalar E-mails about us in a couple of years. Sounds like you are having a great adventure. See you soon. Lots of love Jay Here's Jina... Hi Lizzi!! - What a Christmas!!!! Hey there Hi Liz, Hope you had a great New Year's in Ireland. Will go to library soon to update!
