Every time that I'm there it's special, but this time around it was REAL special. We had our annual "Asian Christmas" which is a terrible name, but if you look at the attendees I'm sure you can deduce why it's called that. It's our 11th get together and it's always some good ol' fashioned fun. This year someone came up with the genius idea of having a pajama party, so we were in comfy jam jams the whole night. Special alright, I mean look at Lucas in those sweet Superman jammies! I always look forward to this blast from the past. Everyone must feel the same way because they all drove out to Whitby this year in the aftermath of the ice storm.
Oh yeah, the icestorm...our house, my aunt's and uncle's were all without power for a few days so we had to sleep in my grandmother's house for a few nights. Can you say slumber party with family? It was like a flashback to the times we used to visit halmuni and halabuji in Korea and slept on the floor. Toronto has never looked so pretty under the thick layer of ice.
This year we spent Christmas eve at jageun emoya's house, and she encouraged us all to wear festive sweaters. I didn't need any encouragement -- my uniform this break was my green sweater that I wore EVERYDAY. The food was amazing like always, but it was just so fun to hang out with my family!
Other highlights included - visiting my grandfather, hanging out with Ericson after his LASIK surgery, meeting up with Iris and Jess and their Caucasian counterparts, crashing Chan family Christmas, family photo shoots and Les Miserables.
