An early Merry Christmas...

I'm off to my homeland...making my first return to Argentina since I left it 15 years ago... It should be interesting to say the least... As it is summer in the southern hemisphere, it's gonna be a hot and humid Christmas, "just like the ones I used to know." Anyway, I don't think they celebrate Christmas the same way in Argentina... I swear, I didn't know who Santa Claus was until I first came to the United States. I don't think I ever believed in Santa Claus either... Am I deprived? My first Christmas in the United States (I was seven), my parents invited Santa Claus over. Santa Claus was freakin' Korean... Never even had the chance to believe in the true, white Saint Nicholas... (On a quick side note, the idea of the existence of the tooth fairy was ludicrous. Every Argentinean boy and girl knows that it's a mouse who handsomely rewards you for your milk teeth. A fairy? Stupid...)

I'll be back on New Year's Eve, I think?

Feliz Navidad!
