Christmas, really?

It's only September, and I'm already thinking about Christmas. Now, for those of you that think I am crazy, let me explain myself a bit. First of all, I'm from Texas and have lived there my entire life. So, when I think weather in September, I think hot with maybe the slightest hint of a cool breeze at night. Seriously, I just looked up the weather there, and they still have temperatures in the high 90s everyday. Well, the weather here in Chungju is a good 25-30 degrees cooler. So, naturally, my first reaction when I step outside and need a cardigan to walk to school is to think Christmas is coming because the weather has finally started to get cooler. So, here I am, still 3 months away from Christmas and already dreaming about how I will be able to decorate our apartment to make it as Christmasy as possible. Of course, I can also say that I have an excuse for thinking ahead because anything I may need to decorate will probably have to come from home. Hence, I have to order stuff on the internet or have my mom buy something and mail it to me. We'll see just how crazy Teaven will let me be. :)

Unfortunately, the thought of Christmas this year brings a hint of sadness because it is the first Christmas I will spend away from my family back home. However, Teaven is my family now, and I am determined to make it great no matter how hard that will be. Thankfully, Christmas this year is on a Sunday, so we don't have to go to work. I'd be quite disappointed if I had to work on Christmas.

I'm sure if the weather warms up again, my thoughts of Christmas will slowly fade away...
