'Tis the season...

While the Mexican congressmen fought about the new president; the new president made his way to assuming his post, and the kids got to stay home from school, we got our Christmas tree up. Mind you, we are at least a couple of weeks behind all our neighbors, but alas we are in the Christmas spirit! Victoria and Sofia were eager to help get the tree up, but weren't particularly excited about getting the lights just right before putting all the ornaments on. I had to keep remembering that this was supposed to be a fun thing for everyone, not an exercise in putting up a perfect tree...We look forward to Christmas break coming soon; although, we have to get through a Christmas convivio at church next week, a Christmas pageant at school and various other activities. We also look forward to having some of Sam's family here for the holidays.
