It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

well, kind of.
This past Thursday, we had a large Thanksgiving meal with part of our group, our professor and his wife, my Dordt friend Rachel, and three Hungarian friends of ours. The food was delicious! Leftovers disappeared pretty quickly.
On Friday morning, I saw a movie called "Boy in the Striped Pajamas." This film takes place during the Holocaust and involves the family of a Nazi commander. I highly recommend it, despite its tragic ending.
Post-Thanksgiving, preparation for Christmas can finally begin! Unfortunately, it rained for a good chunk of yesterday and is currently raining as well. I'd prefer snow. That would look like Christmas. However, on our way to church this morning, we saw multiple people putting Christmas lights in the trees! We also saw people preparing for another Christmas market to be set up at Blaha Lujza ter. I have a good feeling about tomorrow, the first of December. I can finally start my Milka Advent calender. I'm also hoping that Budapest decides to turn on all those Christmas decorations finally...
In other news, I finished all written assignments for the semester. Now all I have is a little bit more reading and final exams. Good.
p.s. Look at Marilyn Smidt's blog for more info on the Christmas market!! :)
