Merry Christmas to my MENA friends

Here is wishing you & family a wonderful holiday season as well!!!

Kudos on the gift idea. A few years back we decided we would not exchange gifts anymore. Our present to one another is the promise to make it to the family reunion in the summer, so that we can all be together - that is the biggest gift one can ask.

Be safe and have a happy new year !

Note: Since a less-than-aware poster once suggested I should only post in the MEAN forum - because we all know the 'M' in MENA stands for Monaco - I thought it would be appropriate to reply! LOL

Lol!

My husband's come across a few people here and there who think he's talking about Monaco when he says he's from Morocco. They'll start babbling about casinos and Grace Kelly, and he's like, what now? Nice people, just not the best geography skills.

Merry Christmas!

We're planning on staying home this year for Christmas. With the new baby things have been a bit hectic so low key and simple seems perfect. I'm exhausted lol.

This year will be my husband's 6th Christmas in the states and we'll celebrate our 8th anniversary on January 8.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and very happy and healthy New Year!

In my family Christmas comes January 7th (Orthodox) but we always go to friends' houses for dinner on December 25th. Lucky me I get two Christmas dinners! As if I need the extra calories . Time to get my butt back to the gym.

Wishing all you lovely people a happy and healthy holiday season and New Year!

Happy holidays to everyone!! Celebrated the Persian holiday of Yalda with my dear fiancé yesterday via Viber. His interview is in Turkey in about a month. I'll be flying there for emotional support even though the embassy doesn't allow me to enter. Looking forward to spending 10 days in Istanbul and Ankara with him, and quite lucky that we will hopefully be done with this part of the process in less than six months (barring a long AP, which I don't think will happen). Here's to everyone being reunited with their loved ones in 2014!!
