“MERRY CHRISTMAS ADVANCE” ( The greeting they give here for an early holiday greeting) HERE I AM GETTING READY TO DELIVER COOKIES TO THE other 31 apartments in our building.  Since we are leaving for Indonesia on Saturday, we thought we would get this done early.  I got many invitations to come in and drink tea, eat snacks, and visit.  It was a very enjoyable time.  We have very nice neighbors!
