Christmas Lemon Tree

Apparently there is an uproar on the home front due to the lack of new blogs. Or maybe I'm just hoping there and that everyone finds them so gosh darn addictive. If that is the case, this post will serve as a big tease, because I do not have the time at the moment to tell you about my Thanksgiving in London, followed by my trip to Dublin, a day in Bologna, and sprinklings of Roman fun throughout. Alas, there is no time for that, as I only have 10 more days in l'eterna città and I am going to cram millions of activities into those last days. I will miss Rome terribly and the Rome group in general. It's a wonderful place to live and I have made some great friends. But now is not the time for sappy nostalgia. Now is the time for Christmas! For those of you on facebook, you may have noticed that my name has changed to Elise Navidad. Obviously, I really enjoy Christmas (and this is one of the factors in my acceptance of leaving Rome). The Rome group is being all cute and Christmasy and started the season off right with some hot cocoa in Medag 127. This inspired a Christmas sing-a-long and then a Christmas write-a-long. where we re-wrote the 12 Days of Christmas for a JCU theme. This won't really be funny for those who don't go there and it might even require explanation. Explanation requests can be submitted by email, because I'm not going to explain it here.

This one goes out to ND Rome '08
