HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

The ladies love Foley in skinny jeans. Haha.

There are many interesting aspects of living in an expat community.  The transient nature of the place means you tend to meet friends continually, and often at housewarming and farewell parties, as people are always coming and going.  It also means that there is a mass exodus for the holidays.  Foley and I are planning our trip home on Dec. 21st (TOMORROW!), and we are pretty much the last of our friends in town.  Anyone who isn't going 'home' is leaving for some kind of Asian holiday.

Foley getting practice

To get in the holiday spirit in 20-something degree weather, a friend hosted a red-white-green holiday party.  For those who know Foley, you'll appreciate that he went out to H&M and bought green skinny jeans (complete with tapered leg!) and a fitted red shirt, then topped his outfit off with an ugly sweater (which didn't last long because he was overheating).  Brilliant.  We met new friends there who had a three week old baby (SO cute!) and Foley got in some practice (cradling both the baby and a beer... classic).

With our departure back to Canada for the holidays (hoping to see TONS of family and friends... please!!) this will be the last blog post for a while.  I'll return to HK mid-January, a day before our one-year anniversary of living here.  Foley will be travelling a while longer, because he has two work trips to add on.  From our little (growing) family to yours, we wish you a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Years!

He loves the attention.
