Antarctic Week 5: Christmas is coming!

can you believe it? it's gonna be christmas in a few days' time! for the first time in my life, i will not be celebrating christmas with any of my family members at all. it feels a little weird now but i guess things happen. no doubt, christmas on station will be a fantastic affair. i can't wait to see what the chef's will have cooked up for us for christmas dinner. and i'm expecting that the whole day will just be a gigantic piss-up session and that baby jesus will look down and stare disapprovingly at me while i giggle, slur and stumble my way through his birthday.

but no, seriously. that's how i'm envisioning christmas on davis station to be. honestly, i think life here revolves around two and a half things: work and alcohol, and antarctica being the half. it's true! my days spent here revolve around work and alcohol. and i'm one of the more reserved ones too when it comes to arak consumption! i know, right?

anyway, Merry Christmas to you all even though it's three days too early. i don't know if i'll have the time to do a post on christmas day. on second thought, i don't even know if i'll be sober on christmas day. hmm.

ok la, love you all. eat, drink, pull crackers, rip open presents and be merry, ok? think about me when you're doing any or all of the above.
