Today we're having a relaxed day of nothing. This morning we watched our weekly shows, The Office, Bones and HIMYM (I do have my woo moments). Then we went to a cafe near our house for hot chocolate (which, in Charlie's words, was "just as good as Starbuck's but $6 cheaper!") We were there for a while just reading and now we're hanging out in our apartment... um, doing nothing. It's nice.

A lazy Saturday
Yesterday, our friend upstairs bought a "Christmas tree" and decorated it with lights and a few balls. It truly is a Charlie Brown tree, but sitting by it with the apartment lights turned off made it feel more like the holidays than we've felt until now and it was nice. We have decided the best way to not feel too homesick this Christmas is to tackle it head on. So we will bake cookies, get a small tree, stuff stockings for each other and listen to carols over and over again! Of course, on Christmas day itself, we will be at the Angkor temples, so will have things to distract us all day!
