My first Christmas overseas!

Happy Holidays!!
I hope that everyone had a great Christmas!
My Christmas was pretty good considering this was my first Christmas that I was away from my family.
Thank goodness for Skype!!
Christmas morning I called back home and opened presents with my family via skype. It was awesome! It kinda felt like I was actually back home in Illinois opening presents with them!
Then I got together with a few people that I work with for a great lunch.
I have to say, it was a pretty decent meal that we all put together.
It was almost as good as back home!
Later in the evening I skyped the other side of my family while they were enjoying their time together. I was actually put on the big screen tv in the living room so that everyone could see. Which was nice to be able to see and talk to everyone :)
So that was my Christmas, even though it wasn't exactly like home, I still think that I had a great one.
Hope you all have a great rest of the year!
Any good plans for the 31st?
