Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve! I don't really have anything new, but it is already Christmas Eve here in Kabul. As I think I've said many times, the days are all the same here, so you really only notice certain days when calling home and whatnot. There are plenty of make-shift decorations up around the camp, I think the term is 'trailor-fabulous'. There's a few 2 foot little trees people had sent out (even a couple 5 foot real trees they've found someplace), some Christmas lights, Christmas cards posted up around the office and plenty of the finest Chinese-made paper decorations you can find in Afghanistan. I'll try to take some picture today and tomorrow and post them soon.

We are having dinner tonight with all of the Marines on base. Then tomorrow they have a Christmas brunch basically all day long. And then the day after Christmas our shop is getting together for a little 'Secret Santa' exchange (which I'm guessing might be a lot of care package re-gifting). Anyway, enough goings-on around here to at least make the time pass.

I don't really have any new pictures handy. So thought I'd share this one. It's one of our new additions, Flight Lieutenant Cath Bailey (Team UK) experiencing her first Twinkie. I get a kick out of little things like people never experiencing Little Debbie snacks. So I've done my best to introduce the Twinkie, Nutty Bars, Oatmeal Pies and whatnot to all the coalition folks.

Anyway, Merry Christmas Eve to everybody!
