Last night we celebrated the yearly tradition of reading aloud "The Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. We invited over several friends and everyone enjoyed reading different characters. In between the 5 chapters we had snack breaks and also we all wore fancy hats.

I can't believe how fast the month is going! We're already at day 17!

We've moved onto our third and last puzzle (unless we want to go buy a new one) and last night we finished the third season of Downton Abbey, a great show, even it's a little dramatic. You can't help but love all the lines from the Dowager Grandmother.

The whole family is here! We celebrated yesterday morning by going out to a famous hummus/falafel place for breakfast. It's one of my favorite places to eat in Amman.

I am quite excited to be part of this month's blog train from DSC. There are lots of great parts, so be sure to check them all out!

While we were sleeping my brother-in-law Brendan arrived from the States and tonight we are excepting our final arrival. The holidays are a great time to work on a puzzle, and my sister-in-law, Karith, and I finished our first one!

Yesterday many cookies were baked and this morning my father-in-law, whom I shall now refer to as Doug (because that's his name) made lefse.
