Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you are all spending the festive season with plenty of cheer and laughter. I was a little sad leading up to the "Silly Season" thinking about everyone at home celebrating with their families having the usual arguments about what to do Christmas day! I also missed all the hype around Christmas its funny how those Christmas carols in the shops help you remember the words. I tried to sing a few carols to the kids this week only to realise I don't bloody remember any hahhahaha. I missed the build up to Christmas to, the Christmas drinks mainly :)....... However I have been pleasantly surprised this week as Christmas has found me here in Islam territory.
Firstly my Boss Khalada felt sorry for me that I won't be spending Christmas with my family and the fact that I helped her out of a tight spot by opting to work. She has invited me to spend some time with her family (who by the way are just fantastic) on Christmas day. Then my mates Sherry and Steve decided to throw a little chrissy bass at their place last night. So all the Aussies gathered around with their smuggled or home made alcohol and finally I found some Christmas cheer. Ted also opened his doors to us all on Christmas day to drop in and have a few beverages. So really I don't think Christmas in Kuwait is going to be as bad as I thought it would be. Was so lovely of Steve and Sherry to get everyone together so we could once again eat to much and drink to much...am suffering a little today, but hey thats what Christmas is all about righ?
Well I hope everyone else manages to have a fab Chrissy. And just a note you Irish and English mob what's this Crimbo business it's either Christmas, Chrissy or xmas hmmm I dunno you all need a good Aussie education hehehehhe! Any hoos please everyone have a glass for me and I will post up some Christmas photos for you soon.
Merry Christmas and I hope Santa finds you where ever you are!
Love Ali
