Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

kol 9am w inta bachair (or something like that anyway)

I ran into this Christmas vacation like a freight train suddenly skidding off the tracks. I went from being unbelievably busy to having nothing to do. It was difficult at first, but now I've settled quite nicely. I have another week before I have to start thinking about going back to school.

Christmas Eve we went to Bethlehem, of course. What else would we have done? I'm sorry to say that I don't have any pictures to show you. I haven't been in the picture-taking mood lately.

I've received some very good news as of late, which makes me very happy. Pardon me for being so vague, but I'm not in the habit of disclosing very good news on the internet for fear of stealing someone's thunder. Mabrook (Congrats) to all involved, and for the rest of you, you'll find out soon enough.

When 2007 rolled around I was very excited about it, and rightly so, for it was a very good year. I'm a bit wary of 2008. I'm not sure why. I have a lot of uncertainties about what direction I'm headed in, and I feel...conflicted. I guess it's a growing season. Perhaps I will be pushed out of the nest once again. Should I make New Year's resolutions?

I'm going back to Bethlehem or Beit lahem for New Year's eve. That should be fun. Perhaps I'll take pictures...


I found this friend in Galilee. He came as far as I did. :)
