I am so unbelievable excited about being home for Christmas this year. I only just realized that I haven't been home for Christmas in almost 4 years! Where have I been?
We are counting down the days, just 8 more days until we fly East on the biggest jet airplane in the world. I am daydreaming about all the shopping I am going to do at the new Dubai terminal 3. I will probably end up being too inundadated with consumer stimulation and holiday decorations, and people, and bustling crowds... Its another 5 days after that until Christmas day, I feel like such a big kid getting so excited about the holiday. I've been craving all the goodies that are associated with this time of year such as Gingerbread, sugar cookies, pumpkin pie... I was going to try my hand at the classic homemade decorations such as gingerbread ornaments and popcorn/cranberry garland until I decided that it would all end up a feast for the ants. I got as far as dried red and green chili garland and a pomander orange stuck with cloves which I predict will mold by tomorrow. (sigh)

My Birthday Weekend
We spent the weekend in a little boutigue hotel just south of Hikkaduwa. It was amazing, we never had to leave the room, just look at the pictures of the place. The toilet had a view of the ocean!. It was a bit dark and rainy (just how I like it). And the food was amazing served to you at any time of the day. We felt very spoiled.
We also took the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving early because I thought it was on the 20th rather than the 27th. We had lobster, no turkeys here.
They even organized a birthday commemoration with some flowers on the bed and a chocolate cake.
Just a few more days before Christmas holiday!
