Christmas in Korea

Well as you may know, I am currently living in Daejeon, South Korea. It’s pretty nice here. Very different from America in more way than one can imagine. That is for another entry. Lol. Being so far away from my loved ones I am experiencing some serious Christmas Blues. Yes I have friends here, people I can share this day with. But I think you know I would be lying if I said it made thinks alright. So there are some things that my Christmas in Korea will be seriously lacking. I have to write this today because if I do this tomorrow I might just cry!

1. A fresh snatch from Tiyu at Sun Nails... My Mercer Friends Know what I’m talking about.
2. That long drive from Macon to Augusta.
3. The hard decision of how to divide my time with my extremely large family!
4. Washing Dishes... never thought I'd say that.
5. Catching up with my siblings and seeing how grown up they have become in my absence.
6. Chatting with Poppy about random things... mostly food.
7. Momma trying to find out if I have a boyfriend and if I don’t, why not.
8. Rubbing someone's feet... I never know who in the house will request my services lol
9. Meeting with all my cousins, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles and grandparents! It’s really a warm feeling I cannot describe.
10. Food. Food. Food.
11. Seeing old friends again. After watch each others' lives on social media, it’s good to know we can come back together and feel like things haven’t changed!
12. My Mercer Family... I can’t really put a situation. Things are so unpredictable with us lol
13. Real hugs... and not that "I’m gonna hug you because you need one" either.
14. Just that warm feeling that my family and friends give me.
15. Speaking of warm feelings… I need that Warm Georgia Weather!!!

Please do not misunderstand. I am NOT miserable here. I sleep pretty well lol. I’m just jealous. I miss certain things and this holiday season is amplifying these feelings. Just know when I come back, I'll appreciate you that much more and I'll probably feel this way about Korea. 


I want to say that I miss you all there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about someone back in America that is important to me! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Continue to love each other, be healthy, and be happy. I will see you soon!
