Merry Christmas
Thinking of you this holiday season. I hope that you have a wonderful time exploring Christmas tradtions in your new home. The Christmas lights are all on in Keizer and people are starting to drive through the neighborhood. Lindsey is heading down to the Rogue River with me next week for our annual trip. We will be working on wedding invitations and favors. I'll have to start making some of the christmas goodies soon. Do you remember the ugly christmas sweater party? I miss seeing you kids loving life and living with such joy. I know your family will be missing you this year and you will be missing them. You are in our thoughts.
Blessings,
Carol

Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good Christmas at your new home. What kind of things do you do for Christmas where you are? With my family we always put up a tree and have lots of yummy food:] What kinds of food do you eat for Christmas in Nicaragua? Do you put up a tree?

Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Do you celebrate Christmas there like you do here in Oregon? Is your house decorated for Christmas yet? Do they put stuff in shoes instead of stockings? Do they use a real tree or artificial one?

Hi Megan, I know that you miss your family. I’m adopted so I know how you feel. I hope you have fun in Boaco. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Sincerely Kory
ReplyDeleteDear Megan,
ReplyDeleteMarry Christmas. I have a Christmas tree. I’m excited for presents.

Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas. My family and me put up an artificial tree and I helped a little bit but not much. We put different colored lights on the tree.
Sincerely,
Andrea
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI hope you will have a good Christmas. My family has our Christmas tree up. The lights are blue. My baby brother Caleb grabs on to the Christmas lights and jumps with it in his hands. We all miss you Megan. Merry Christmas.
Taylor
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteDo you have any Christmas traditions? Every Christmas every one of my relatives goes to my Aunt’s house. We play this game where, when you pull a number (and we go in order from 1 to 25) you then grab a present out from under the tree. Does it sound fun to you? Happy Christmas Megan. Jeremiah
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteWhat are some of your traditions you celebrate there. In my family we have a huge Christmas party. This year for Christmas were not going to have very many presents because we’re going to Disneyworld in March or April so most of our money is going towards the trip. There is one present that I’m sure I might get and it’s a new phone and that will be the only present I will get for Christmas and it will be my Birthday present. So I hope you have a very Merry Christmas Sincerely, Renee
Dear Meagan,
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing I just want to ask you a few questions about the holidays there. Do you put up lights and trees and stuff? Do you have a Santa Claus do you give presents to each other?
Hope your feeling better LOL:}:}:}:}:}:}:}
Wade
Dear Megan
ReplyDeleteHow is it in Boaco because it sounds cool? But in the blog you sound really tired. You wrote that you can’t spend Christmas with your family this year, and that you were not able to go to Hawaii with them. I’m sorry.
David
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing? Are you feeling a little better? Did you put a Christmas tree up yet? Are you enjoying the new town Boaco? I bet you miss your family. Me and my family put our Christmas tree up already it was fun. I hope you have a good Christmas in Boaco.
Sincerely, Cassandra
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a good time in Boaco. What’s it like over there during winter? Do you have a good time there? What do you like to do? What does the food taste like? I hope you are feeling better soon. Please write back.
Sincerely,
Reece
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteHow is your trip going I heard that you were really sick? How do you feel about your family being in Hawaii? I think that it is sort of interesting because I just got back from Oahu and another kid in my class just got back from the big island! Can you send us a picture of you and your family? That’s about it.
From the one who must not be named.
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a wonderful merry Christmas in Boaco. Does it ever snow over there at Boaco? What is it like in Hawaii since I have NEVER been to Hawaii. Why did you go to Hawaii? Have you ever surfed yet? I hope that you get well soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Jasmin!!
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI heard you have been sick. I hope you feel better soon maybe you are sick because your body system is not used to the environment. I don’t celebrate Christmas but I hope you have a good one. I’m going to Arizona on Christmas Eve, to spend some time with my auntie. I also heard that your parents and brother are in Hawaii for Christmas, you must be upset you don’t get to go. My sister lives in Hawaii. She lives in Kauai; she said it’s the best island to live because the other islands are for tourists. I hope you have a nice holiday. Love, Baby Girl,
Dear Megan, I was wondering how you celebrate Christmas there. Is there still a tree involved? Do you even celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa? What do you celebrate? Sincerely, Jeremiah
ReplyDeleteDear Megan,
ReplyDeleteIn Boaco do people celebrate Christmas? Also I have my Christmas tree, how about you?? From Maguire
Dear Megan, How are things I heard you are sick. How do you feel about your family going to Hawaii without you? I’d be mad. So what are you doing for Christmas? Are you having fun in your new city? What do you want for Christmas? Will your family send you gifts? From Gali
ReplyDeleteHey Megan I hope your feeling better I heard you were sick which stinks. How long have you been sick? Have you been really tired? What are you going to be doing this Christmas while you’re over there? I heard your family went to Hawaii for hristmas this year, I don’t celebrate Christmas so write back as soon as you can and tell me if you feel better=] From Bianca
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, Are you putting up a Christmas tree? I would miss my family on Christmas if I was away from them, how are you doing? Are you doing anything Christmassy? How are you feeling there? How is Boaco? What’s different then Keizer? Are mad that you can’t go with your family?
ReplyDeleteAshley
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI heard you were sick, and I also heard you were missing out on Hawaii. I can’t say you’re not missing out. But I can say that if I got to pick to go to Hawaii for Christmas or Nicaragua, I would pick Nicaragua. But that’s because I lived in Kiloa Kona for 8 years. I was born there. I also have never been anywhere other than the U.S. Anyway I hope you feel better and have a great Christmas.
Grace
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteHow is school going? How are you going to celebrate Christmas? Are you even going to? Do they celebrate Christmas in Boaco? I hope you have a good Christmas sorry you can’t be with your real family. Is there ice-cream there different than the ones in America? Merry Christmas!

Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!! Will you celebrate Christmas in Boaco? How many friends do you have there? How long have you been in Boaco with your host family? What language do you have to speak in Boaco? I celebrate Christmas both at home and at my grandmother’s house. We celebrate at home with a birthday cake and a piñata to celebrate Jesus birth. Hope you have a good one!!! See you later!!! Love Elisha:-D
Dear Megan, I can’t even think about not being with my family on Christmas. Do you celebrate Christmas were you are? If you don’t than what do you celebrate? I hope you like it there. I heard you were sick from some of the food there is that true? I hope you feel better soon. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! I wonder does it snow there. Do you miss your family? Do you miss your brother a lot? I know I don’t really miss my brother all the time. What is the town like? Do you like it there? Anyways, how is your trip going? Do you know how far it is away from here and how long it took you to get there? From: Zac

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel bad you can’t have Christmas with your own family. I wonder how that would feel. Did you have thanksgiving with your host family?

Dear Megan, My teacher told me that you were sick. I was sick a few days ago I had a sore throat. I hope you feel better. I’ve also heard that you don’t get a lot of cold weather there. We get a lot of cold weather here. During, Thanksgiving it snowed so much my whole entire pool was completely frozen. We don’t get a lot of heat in Oregon only during the summer. How hot is it over there? I wanted to tell you Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Megan,
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHIRSTMAS! I hope you have a good time in Boaco and I hope you feel well soon. You also said something that caught my attention when you were talking about your family you said someone’s name was Carmen. My name is also Karmen but spelled with a K! I wish you a merry Christmas! Also how is it going in your new high school? Do you like it or not? Last question what grade are you teaching? I am sorry for so many questions but I think you are very interesting…… and I am also sorry that you can’t be with your family on Christmas. Also again I hope you have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas Megan! I hope you are having a wonderful time in Boaco and a wonderful Christmas with most likely new traditions that are just as precious. I wanted to know what some of your new traditions in Boaco are. Do you still put up a tree? What is the main Christmas course? Is there anything special your doing this year? Sincerely, Tyler
ReplyDeleteDear Megan,
ReplyDeleteIt’s sad that you can’t go see your real family for Christmas. I hope you feel a lot better and Boaco seems like a really cool place to me. Your host brother and sister they sound like really nice kids. I hope you have a fun time at Boaco and merry Christmas.
Your Friend,
Evan
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI wonder what your plans for Christmas are. We are going to do what we always do, put up the Christmas tree, and the Christmas lights. On Christmas Eve we always hide a fake ornament pickle in the Christmas tree, I know it’s weird but if you find it you get to open one present, the present you open is pajamas the pajamas usually have Christmas designs on it. And on Christmas you open presents and drink hot chocolate. What do you do for Christmas? I’m very sorry that you’re sick. I haven’t been sick for a pretty long time. A couple weeks ago my mom was sick, before that my dad was sick, before that my sister was sick and luckily, I did not get sick. I hope you feel better. I hope it’s just a little cold because when it’s a big cold it makes you miserable. One more thing MERRY CHRISTMASS!!!:):):):):):) Sincerely,
Twyla
Dear Megan, I think there use to be water in the city of Boaco. Megan I also hear you were sick. I was sick too and I hope you get better. One more thing… Merry Christmas. Tyler
ReplyDeleteP.S. Have a good time.
Dear Megan, Did you hear about the tornado in OR. It hit Aumsville. They said that it would take a month to clean it up. There are 11 days till Christmas, what are you doing for Christmas? We already have a tree and the house is ready for Christmas. Have a good time. Cheyenne
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, I hope you have a good Christmas because I know I am. I am going to get so many video games for Christmas. I am going to play them right when I get up so I can play them longer, so I can have more fun and so I can have a good Christmas.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Jose
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteHello how are you doing? Your host family seems very nice. I love to write to you. Is it fun to be in Nicaragua? I hope you are having fun. What’s your favorite food in Nicaragua? You must get good exercise walking every day. What’s your favorite Christmas food? I really like my mom’s special sticky buns. There really good. By the way why is there a light house where there’s no water? Get better soon.
Merry Christmas,
Faith
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteFirst Merry Christmas Megan, I heard that Boaco is bigger than San Juan. San Juan has only 6,000 people and Boaco has 60,000 people. It takes you 20 minutes to get to your high school. How are you today? Where are you at right now and when are you going to come back to Oregon. (:!!!!!!!!!!!!! From Natalie
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Megan! I’m sorry that you can’t see your family for Christmas Megan. I hope you still have a merry Christmas though. In Boaco, do you get a Christmas tree and decorate it?
Your friend,
Megan
Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteI heard that you can’t see your family for six months when you join the Peace Corp. Is that hard for you? In Boaco, do you get a tree, or presents on Christmas. If I went on a five hour walk, I would be even more tired than you.
From: Noah =]
Dear Megan, I heard you were sick and you have to spend Christmas alone. There was a tornado in Aumsville yesterday. Two people got hurt and several buildings were destroyed. My cousins live there, thank god they didn’t get hurt. Wishing you a merry Christmas and hoping you get better. Blessings,
ReplyDeleteAustin
Dear Megan, Wow, it must fun in Boaco! Your new host family seems really nice. You must be getting really good exercise walking everywhere. Their ice cream seems good too. I hope you’re having a fun time in Nicaragua. Have fun in Boaco! :D

Dear Megan,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, what are you doing for Christmas? I’m going to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my mom. At 1:00 I go to my dad’s and to my dad’s girlfriend’s mom’s house, very confusing! So how is it there I heard that you moved, do you like it in Boaco?? Who are you going to celebrate Christmas with?
Sincerely,
Kim
Dear Megan,

Dear Megan, What’s the weather like in Nicaragua? What is your favorite TV show? What’s the most exciting thing you do in Nicaragua? Do people celebrate Christmas there? I’m so excited for Christmas break. What are you going to do for Christmas? We’re going to go to Grandmas and Grandpas for dinner and open presents. Merry Christmas, Josiah
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, It’s sad that you can’t celebrate Christmas with your family. It’s great up what’s it like down there in Nicaragua. Sincerely, Bailey
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, I heard you are sick, I really hope you get better. Have a wonderful Christmas. Do they put up Christmas lights? I’ve been wondering about that a lot. I’m sorry you can’t see your family this year. Is it cool there, do they speak the same language? Your friend, Kyleigh
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, I heard about how you got sick and hope you get better. I was also wondering… do they celebrate Christmas where you’re at??? I really hope they do. I already got my tree up, it’s really colorful. Hope you get better. Sincerely, Jake :]
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, Merry Christmas, I hope you have a good holiday. Is it fun down there in the city? Do you have turkey there because we do? Do they fill stockings and open them on Christmas? For Christmas to be good, all you need to do is spend time with your family! I wish you could. Do you like the people in the city? Do you want to go camping down there? I WISH YOU A HAPPY CHRISTMAS YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Your living room is really COOL, and your kitchen. Merry Christmas, Cody
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, I feel so bad that you can’t spend Christmas with your family, I know how you feel I have to spend two weeks with my dad and two weeks with my mom in the summer I miss my mom when I am with my dad. What are you wanting for Christmas I know what I want, a new phone I have my mom’s old phone. I can’t take my phone to school. So how big is your bed room? Do you guys celebrate Christmas? How many family members live with you? Merry Christmas, Shelby D
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, What has been your favorite thing in Nicaragua? Do you guys celebrate Christmas there or put anything up? I have my tree up and am getting ready for Christmas break! Break time! Merry Christmas, Matthew
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, Happy Holidays Megan. I hope you feel better. Are you enjoying your visit in Boaco? It sounds like it’s a pretty cool city. This year I visited a town almost the same as Boaco but it’s in Mexico and my parents are from that town. So since your spending Christmas in Boaco I was wondering what they eat for that holiday? Do they have a special tradition that they do over there? Well have you heard about the Christmas lights? There all over the place in Keizer, they look very pretty. Megan I hope you have an amazing holiday, bye. Happy holidays, Carol
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, I read that it was kind of weird in the city of Boaco. I hope you have a good time. Do you go and explore? What is the food like there do they have good food. I think the pretty pictures that you take are cool. What do you like the most about the city? Do you have a pet? Your house is very cool. You have a very cool TV, I don’t get a TV yet so you’re very lucky. I would like to come explore that place. Merry Christmas, Trytan
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, We hope you feel better. Boaco sounds like a fun place. Are you still going to celebrate Christmas? Do they have house lights? Do they have eggnog, yummy eggnog? Merry Christmas, Derek
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, Do a lot of people celebrate Christmas down in your town? Do people give each her gifts or hang lights up? What do people in Boaco eat on Christmas? Do you want to go back to your home sometimes? If I went somewhere I would freak out that my family wasn’t with me.
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, In your town do people celebrate Christmas? Do they put lights up on their houses or give each other gifts? And by the way all those pictures you took are amazing! I hope you had fun!
ReplyDeleteDear Megan, I hope you have a good Christmas even though you don’t get to spend it with your own family. I am sorry that you also didn’t get to go home for thanksgiving you should make your holidays the best you can! But I have a question to ask you, what are you doing for Christmas this year? And what did you do for thanksgiving? How are you doing? Do you like Boaco, Nicaragua? I hope you have a very EXTREAMLY merry Christmas this year! Sincerely, Shelby
