Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This year we were blessed with a white Christmas in Seoul. We spent the morning at home opening presents, singing Christmas carols, decorating & eating snowmen pancakes, and watching classic Christmas movies. We then headed to church for a Christmas service. Finally, in the evening, we headed over to the US Army base and had dinner with an embassy family- old friends of ours from Chicago! The spread included ham, mashed potatoes, cornbread, and a fabulous homemade cheesecake topped with berries, among other delicious things. It was such a special treat to be able to have a traditional American meal on Christmas!
By the way, if you live in Seoul and want to order a Christmas or Thanksgiving meal, you can order one from The Deli at the Dragon Hill Lodge, located on the Yongsan US Army Base. The price is incredibly reasonable for a TON of food! This year, it cost $109.95 for a full turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, green beans, and a pumpkin pie (enough to feed 10 people). However, there is one catch- you have to pick up the meal from Dragon Hill. In other words, you have to know someone who can let you on base and escort you to the Deli to pick up the meal. Anyhow, if you are interested, here's a link to this year's info about the meal. Also, the direct number to order the meal is: 02-6903-6716.
For this year's holiday cards, we took photos at a park near the Han River and had a fabulous time! Photo credit goes to Jhon Chong, an old friend of ours from college- thanks! And for your viewing pleasure, some of the shots from our fun, though extremely cold, photoshoot:
May your days be merry & bright! Happy Holidays!
