Christmas morning I slept in until 9:30, then walked out to get a coffee at Starbucks and a Taiwanese milk bun at the bakery. First I read through all my Christmas cards to think about all the people who cared about me. I'm such a card person, each time I got one in the mail it was thrilling - I got three I really didn't expect and they made my day. Thanks to: C.C., E. W., C.P., K.N., W. & D. .. Then I opened my presents. My family's box didn't make it in time (I will have quite the selection of Birthday presents, don't you worry). But instead, I had a surprise gift from Claire, an extra gift Kathy bought off Ebay from China, and gifts from students and teachers.
