Christmas Came Early

Today I received my Christmas package from home! I was so excited but so were all the Korean teachers because I ordered them special gifts from home. I knew they were on their way, so when I got the boxes today I didn't open them right away. Usually I open them at work for two reasons: 1) I can't wait to see what surprises my mom threw in and 2) everyone huddles around me until I open them because they want to see what's in them.

Before I opened them I asked the girls if they wanted their gifts now or closer to Christmas. As I suspected, they wanted them now. So I opened the boxes and began to pull out the giant comfy and fuzzy animal slippers. They all started screaming and fighting over the different designs. The ladybug and bee slippers were the favorite and they had to do "Rock, Scissors, Paper" to decide who would get them. The cow, pink dog and frog were also popular. Nobody seemed to want the pigs, so we gave that pair to our boss! Haa haa! She tried to switch with the other girls. It was so funny, but it made me happy. Except I got them because I thought they would all want to wear them at work, since we can't wear shoes and we have to wear slippers in the building (another little difference). Everyone decided they would rather take them home. Which was a good idea because when I walked out of our teachers lounge in my ladybug pair, all the kids started screaming and asking me to give the slippers to them. I quickly decided to keep mine at home too. But I did get some photos of all of them in their slippers.

Aren't they adorable? If you want to get your hands on a pair, you can get them from "The Red-Eyed Grasshopper & Little Cricket" Gift Shop in Orange, CA. It's my aunt's gift shop and they make great gifts! Plus they are really comfy and warm! Check them out on Facebook: Red-Eyed Grasshopper on Facebook or call (714) 771-6006

Let the 25 of Christmas begin!
