I changed the colors of my blog now, partly because I was bored of the old ones, and partly because I was just plain bored. I put in a lot of red, because red is a very Chinese color. It symbolizes good luck.
Tomorrow we're going to put up our Christmas tree. We like to make a whole party out of it. Sometimes we call it Tree Party, and sometimes we call it Cheese Party because we have cheese to eat. Along with cheese, we have crackers, olives, smoked oysters, a few different kinds of potato chips, ginger ale, and things like that. We also play Christmas music. I doubt we could find smoked oysters here, and many of the chip flavors here are very strange (cucumber, litchi, and blueberry, just to name a few.) We were happy to find some salt and vinegar chips, but, alas, they were Lay's. (Poore Brothers' rules!!!) I think I saw some ginger ale in one of the western stores, though. (It was even Canada Dry.)
For Christmas I'm hoping to get a really nice violin, because I haven't been able to play in about two years and I'm going crazy. I also want my own iPod, because then I won't have to borrow my mom's and wish that she had a few more of my favorite songs on it.
It's also Allyne's birthday soon. Mom and John and I are going to go shopping for presents today, while she and Dad are at the school for play practice. She has a part in the school production of Oliver Twist, and Dad is in the set-building committee. Allyne is also happy because she gets to miss school on her birthday for dress rehearsals.

have a great time a the christmas party- stick to the cheese, crackers,olives and ginger ale. love g.pa
Litchis are these weird little fruits that taste perfumey. They smell nice, (because they smell like perfume, too,) but perfume is not a very good flavor. I don't like to eat them at all.
I'm totally with you, Bemma. I think that litchis are gross. I ate extra smoked oysters for you when I put up the tree with Elizabeth.
