Not in four days. It's because of my compromise with modern society—and choir rehearsals—over Christmas music. I also played 'way too much Christmas music during Advent: while doing Christmas-y things like wrapping gifts, decorating, making cookies, etc.

So, how was Christmas in the Gambia? I'm tempted to say there's no Christmas music in the stores here, either—I remember remarking last year that I had no idea so many secular "Christmas carols" existed. But this year was actually considerably better in the stores from that standpoint, a good mix.

I'm nowhere near tired of those Christmas things that I haven't been enjoying as long -- the tree, the house decorations, the cookies....

You must have played a lot of Christmas music to be tired of it in 4 days! I'm getting sick of the few CD's that my computer will cooperate and play, but that's only a small subset of the already small collection I brought with me. Of course, there's no Christmas music in most stores here, so I only hear it at home and in church.

Yay, Jon!

Believe it or not, I'm so used to doing clementines that I forgot I could go for the gold! We don't have many page oranges, but there were only two stockings....

Jon is very good about filling my stocking. He specializes in giving me my family traditions, which some years had gotten lost because of celebrating with his family. (Though it did have to be a clementine instead of a page orange because his parents can't grow citrus in their yard...)
