Just over two months down and it's kicked in mega. Keep thinking about all the traditions that me and my friends have over the Christmas break that I'm gonna miss. Not being able to go snowboarding and return to my comfortable house. Miss my family. What'd you do to help your homesickness?

One thing you can do is make plans for how you'll celebrate Christmas in Korea... now's a good time to remind your family at home how much you'll need to receive an excellent parcel in the mail (that they should send as soon as possible unless they want to pay the big bucks). Don't be afraid to decorate your place up, completely with a little tree, and have a gift exchange with some foreign friends (perhaps Korean ones too, but they might not understand completely unless they've had Christmas in a western country).

Cheer up (don't you hate it when people say that?) Wink

I agree with casey's moon. Make plans to make every holiday special. Do whatever it takes.
