Christmas Eve Day

Well its gettin into the Holiday Season... It is kind of strange being down here during this time of year. Can't believe tomorrow is Xmas. Especially since a lot of my family is actually going to be in San Diego at my parents this year. Most definitely Wish I could be there.

Hoping the camera I bought to replace the broken one arrives next week.

By the way - If I didn't send you a postcard from Antarctica - send me your address (I didn't bring an address book, so I don't have addresses- although I did bring a dress for my Halloween costume)

Today (Thursday the 24th) is still a work day. Friday (Christmas Day) and Saturday are days off and Sunday is a work day, as opposed to the normal one day off a week (Sunday). We also get an extra day off next week for New Years (Saturday the 2nd) and the normal Sunday off as well.

Lots of events this week. Tuesday there was the acoustic show - Great assortment of live music, including some Xmas songs. Wednesday night was the Charlie Brown Christmas Play (short half-hour play that was funny). Today - went to a nearby field camp to enjoy in their Xmas lunch - which was really served and eaten like a dinner (lobster, crab, steak, fresh fruit and salad, egg nog, cider) - was delicious and did put me into the post-lunch coma. There is a town party tonite, so we'll see how that goes. Friday - there is a the special dinner in the galley on Station (I heard its goin to be duck, crab, prime rib among other things). It stopped snowing yesterday, but there is a forecast of a chance of rain this evening - which would be really cool (I'll let you know if it happens).
