A weekend to kick off the holidays

It was a great weekend to celebrate the arrival of the holiday season. Not the easiest thing here in Jakarta, but the wonderful people we've met have certainly put us in the holiday spirit. I hosted the first Xmas cookie exchange on Friday which was delicious. Although we can't stop eating the cookies and it's only December 5th! Saturday we attended our very first Indonesian tree lighting party. Great food and great times with new friends. Now, with almost all our shopping complete (it pays off not having to work), we are anxiously awaiting spending time with our loved ones back home. With that, I say Salam Malam to all and to all a good night!
