Getting Ready for Christmas

Trips to Namsan Tower for views of the city at night and a chance to see Christmas decorations is one way the kids are getting ready for Christmas.



We had dinner with my graduate student assistant, Heejin, and she brought the kids some Santa hats and stockings, which they promptly wore.
Itaewon is showing some American-Korean-Chinese spirit just in time for the holidays.
A view of our finished tree. Now, have to get those finishing touches ready since Santa is coming tomorrow night! The boys got a visit from Santa at school today and he gave them new toothbrushes and toothpaste as gifts.
Christmas movies also help to spread the cheer. 'Polar Express' is one of the only Christmas movies for kids we could find. Christmas here is a dating holiday and not very kid-focused. I think for next year I am going to buy some dvds--Rudolf, Christmas Story, Wonderful Life, etc.
Snow helps add to the festivities. The kids made a snow fort with the little bit that fell this weekend. They are totally ready for snow play and can handle way more snow that we've had so far. Forecast is calling for a white Christmas!
