Christmas in Antarctica

Merry Christmas Everybody!!! I hope you all got to enjoy a fab time with your family and friends. Down here at the bottom of the world we have celebrated Christmas as well. We had a christmas party for the medical staff last Saturday where we rented Hut 10 (which is a house on station that is furnished as normal house with a kitchen) and did some barbecuing. On Christmas Eve it was the station Christmas party and on Christmas day we had our christmas dinner. Which had an awesome spread of good food.
It doesn't really feel like Christmas, because christmas to me is to be with family. My family spent christmas in our new house in Edmonds and I wish I could have been there.

I now have less than 2 months to go and I hope I get to be busier otherwise it will be long 2 months ahead of me. My running is not going very well, since I sprained my ankle and aggravated an old back injury so there has been no running for 2 weeks. I hope I will get better soon so I can start running again.
