Before Christmas Activities

Brandon took the day before Christmas Eve off and we had a nice relaxing day. Took the boys bowling on post and practically had the alley to ourselves. Fun fun! The big winner was mom!



I took the boys downtown to a traditional Korean outdoor market Christmas Eve. Where we ate my favorite pancakes that they make here. We had a good time. In the pictures you will notice that the market is three stories tall. It is jammed packed with everything to buy. I even found an area that I had never been to before where they were selling live chickens, rabbits, ducks, dead pheasants and right smack in the middle there were kittens and puppies. (hoping that they weren't on the menu too. What a fun day.





We took the boys to eat on post at the Hilltop Club. They were putting on a Christmas dinner. Yum.
It doesn't feel as Christmas like here as we felt at home due to the fact that Christmas isn't as big of a holiday for the Korean's as it is for the Americans. We had to go looking for the Christmas lights. We took a walk down the busy streets by our house to go to Daegu Bank where they were pretty decked out with lights. Our apartment building even set up a few lights outside of our window a few weeks before Christmas.
