Christmas

I never am in the "holiday spirit", no matter which holiday it is, but I do like getting together with family and friends. We had a potluck at my place last night.

I made eggnog, garlic soy sauce chicken, and ratatouille, all of which I was very satisfied with. Everyone else brought good food, though most of it was Chinese. I meant to take pictures of everything, but it wasn't until we ate everything on the table that I remembered my camera.

We just all sat around in the living/dining room and talked while drinking wine, beer, or mint-jasmine-green tea. It wasn't a very Christmas-y night, but I think everyone had fun.



I think it's funny how Chinese people have adopted Christmas here as purely a commercial event. Me, Miles, Andre, and Tiffany were at Fu Zi Miao on the 24th and saw Christmas sales and decorations everywhere. No Salvation Army Santas though.
