Cold December night

I am sitting in my room listening to "Cold December Night" getting ready for the Christmas season. Ashley and I have already decorated our rooms with snow flakes and the center of town has a huge Christmas tree already up and a giant Ferris wheel!

But as you all know Thanksgiving comes before Christmas...well not here in France :)
However I was blessed with the opportunity to celebrate it with my friends in the FEU. This is the second here in Clermont where they have a Thanksgiving dinner. We had more than 50 people show up! I was also in a skit...where I was a turkey...it was very funny. The food was good to but does not compare to our Thanksgiving meal.

Christmas is quickly approaching and I am very ready for Christmas I am not ready to leave France.

Another opportunity I took was to serve at the food bank. I volunteered my time at a grocery store collecting food for the food bank. On a more fun note I saw the second Hunger Games...yes completely in French. Also I find it funny that the French say "unger games" because they do not pronounce the "h".

Also not sure I have mentioned this or not but I also spent a weekend in the mountains with the FEU. It was really cold! I puts some photos in here so you can see. We could see absolutely nothing because of the white and fog. It was so beautiful up there. And so many cool moments playing games and singing with people from all countries and walks of life. That was a weekend I will not forget.

We made pumpkin and apple pies. Pretty American...some of them had never eaten pumpkin pie before!

Lots and lots of snow!

Just another view of the nature around me so you can be jealous of where I live :)
