Christmas in Paradise



While many of the North American students went home to the snow and cold for the semester break, most other students stayed in Costa Rica or traveled through the Caribbean, and/or Latin America. Patrick went home to Falls Church to visit family and friends, but the girls and I stayed where it was warm!

Christmas Eve was spent baking sugar cookies from scratch (for Santa), tracking Santa’s progress online, and going to Christmas Eve mass. Christmas morning we gathered around the ‘tree’ that the girls had fashioned out of plastic garland, a wire coat hanger, a plastic stool, and a clothes hamper. They made all the ornaments themselves, too. Santa was generous bringing clothes, soccer balls, candy and more.

It was an amazing Christmas!!
