In what is probably the saddest episode of my adventures abroad, for the first time in 28 years I'm spending Christmas away from my family. Even when I was in Iraq, I made it home. This was my choice, so I have no one to blame but myself, but it's still a hard thing. I had a great time going back to the States in November and if I could have made it back for both holidays I would have. Time and money made that unlikely.
I will, however, be celebrating Christmas tonight with friends in Macedonia so I will not be missing out on my annual installment of food, booze, and presents. To everyone in Texas, Merry Christmas! And since I can't be there have a drink for me!

Coleman, you make me so sad! I hope last night was really fun. Even though you are far away, you're always close in our hearts.
We love you, Mom & Dad
