More pictures from home

Another one of my favorite Christmas time activities is cutting out and decorating cookies.









Some of the final products.

Since I've returned from the US, I've been surprised to see how much Christmas stuff there is in stores. Not too junky (actually I did see a dancing Santa toy), but trees, ornaments, wrapping paper, bags, candles, napkins, plates and so forth. But apparently the Turks celebrate Christmas on New Years Eve; they don't realize/decide to celebrate it on December 25. Fine with me - it's nice to spread the Christmas spirit out. I bought a 3 foot tree (first fake tree of my life) for only 8 dollars, I got some little ornaments and lights. It's not as good as the real thing but it will do!
