On Christmas Eve, Chul and Sharon hosted a wonderful dinner at their house for those who are still in the area. We got to know one another a little bit more by sharing about our most memorable holiday experience or our most memorable gift. Each one of us shared a very interesting story; as a result, the whole sharing time lasted over one and a half hour. I thoroughly enjoyed that time. After the sharing, we went to see the Christmas lights on Thompson Street in Alameda. This is a well-known street in Alameda because every house on this street block is decorated with Christmas lights every Christmas. Although it was raining, the lights were still on and we were able to walk through the street. The rain, the chill, and the dazzling Christmas lights made it quite a memorable Christmas for me.
