Reflections on Christmas and an Update in an email to a CLP mom

It wasn't until I was 10 that I admitted that I knew that Santa had "helpers" because I was scared that if I let on that I knew Santa would stop visiting me! It became undeniable the Christmas we spent in Mexico with our whole extended family, and it was super obvious that all the presents were in the suitcases we brought. It must be such fun getting to play Santa! Towards the end my dad started suggesting that Santa might like something a little stiffer than milk to be left out for him. (:

I haven't found a job yet, so I am pretty much looking for one full time. I'm involved with a really great non-profit in the area that is keeping me engaged, but it's just volunteer, and no one affiliated with the organization is paid, so it's not the sort of gig that could grow into a "real" job. But at least it takes my mind off the boredom of sitting home ALL day looking for jobs, and it's something to have on my resume while I'm otherwise unemployed, and I think it will also be great for me to have a Dutch reference, even if I'm not getting paid for all the work I'm doing for them.
