The Dunkin Donut Guy....
The Associated Press reported that Michael Vale, the actor best known for his portrayal of a sleepy-eyed Dunkin' Donuts baker who said "Time to make the donuts," has died Saturday. He was 83 years old. Vale's long-running character, "Fred the Baker," became a cultural icon. The ad campaign lasted 15 years, until Vale retired in 1997. Although I was unfamilar with this American icon, I am sure he will be missed.

Christmas in Bulgaria..
Vesela Koleda. Merry Christmas in Bulgarian. This year the holiday was spent very different than any other year.
For one, I was in Bulgaria, away from my own family spending it with my Bulgarian family. Christmas Eve and Christmas day seemed pretty uneventful. I just hung around the house chatting with my host sister and playing with the cats. When I wasn't doing that, I was eating lots of food and drinking lots of Rakia (the homemade liquor of Bulgaria.) Very few gifts were exchanged and few were in attendance. It was just like an ordinary day in the home of the Perfanov's.
The highlight of the weekend were the get togethers with my host sister's friends in a neighboring village. There, I even got a wedding proposal! And although I missed the traditional slaughter of the pig, I was able to see the aftermath (hence the pictures.)
So, all in all it was a pleasant holiday.... but maybe next year I will come home, back to the states, to enjoy the lively festivities my family has to offer. Cheers!

Panagyrishte
My first home in Bulgaria was in a small mountain town called Panagyrishte.
Now, I am headed back. Headed home for the holidays. I am very excited to see my host family and catch up on the last five months. And now I can actually hold a decent conversation with them. That is my hope anyways.
Well, I am off. Merry Christmas to all.

Stara Zagora's First Snow....
All I have to say is....
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
It is COLD here. But it looks like a winter wonderland and I love it. Now I just have to learn to walk on ice....that seems to be a bit trickier.

The Meaning of X-Mas
This is a column by Jon Carroll, who writes for the SF Chronicle. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I figured I'd share with everyone. Enjoy, and by the way... Happy Holidays. ;-)
____________________________________________________
The Meaning of X-Mas
This column is brought to you by the letter X, which occupies a singular place in our culture. It is a primal shape, easy to make -- so illiterate people signed their name with it -- and easy to recognize -- so it marked the spot, whatever spot you wanted it to mark. There's a suggestion that, in the shadow parallel world of letters, the opposite of O is X, except it's understood that O is always slightly inferior to X. O is the defensive team in football diagrams, and O always goes second in tic-tac-toe games.
X became the symbol that indicated banning or condemnation, probably because it seems intuitively like the letter of denial -- see the European street sign featuring a circle with a slash. Don't go there. An X has two slashes -- really don't go there. But because the forbidden is attractive, X also became the letter of titillation, and makers of porn movies kept adding X's to indicate that their product was even Xier than competing films.
Triple X rated! You've seen X-rated movies. We're three times as dirty!
In cartoons, dead people have X's instead of eyes -- that's how you know they're dead. A key feature of cartoons is cross-hatching, which is, at its lowest level, making a series of X's for artistic reasons. And X's are often called crosses -- the British version of tic-tac-toe is called noughts and crosses. Crosses stuck in the ground mark the location of dead bodies, presumably because Jesus was crucified (or crossed).
There's also a widespread misunderstanding of the word Xmas, which is not in fact a cheap modern way of denigrating Christmas. Xmas has an ancient pedigree; the Greek letter chi, which is an X, is the first letter in Christos, and the symbol was used as shorthand by early Christians.
(The other ancient symbol for Christianity is a fish, the exact origin of which is in dispute. It could reference the Greek word for fish, or it could be an allusion to Christ calling his disciples "fishers of men," or it could be something else. These days, it's mostly seen in the debate about evolution that is being carried on, oddly enough, by metal symbols on the backs of cars. I once had a vision of a jammed freeway with back bumpers yelling at each other as they waited.)
Some ignorant people have decided that "Xmas" is part of the "war on Christmas," which is an ill-defined but fiercely held belief that secular cultural forces have combined to make Christmas less meaningful. One proof of that is the phrase "happy holidays" -- and if you'd told me a decade ago that I'd live in a world where "happy holidays" would become a flash point of controversy, I would have asked for a damp washcloth and nine Valiums.
I am unable to discern a war on Christmas, at least Christmas as I have known it. There are sparkling lights and little bells and jolly Santas and yule logs and Christmas carols and creches, creches, creches. In the supermarket, I am enjoined to come and adore him, born the king of angels, and I do not believe that they're singing about Santa -- who, as the Christian St. Nicholas, was a rather less jolly fellow than he is now. I do not notice who is wishing me "happy holidays" and who is wishing me "merry Christmas," because the operative words for me are "merry" and "happy," and for those thoughts much thanks.
Christmas itself is a big mash-up of traditions. The early church leaders didn't really know when Jesus was born, but there was already a big festival around the winter solstice, so why not get a twofer? Meaning that a real Christmas would happen sometime in August, just to make sure that there was no pagan taint. And there goes the Christmas tree, because dragging a tree into the house and worshiping it, sorry, decorating it -- that's pretty pagan too.
And because Christ enjoined us to give our money to the poor, the Christmas presents would go to shelters and soup kitchens and rest homes, with nothing for ourselves -- and, human nature being what it is, that would pretty much throw the entire world economy into a tailspin. We'd have to get rid of "Winter Wonderland" -- a song in which a couple presumably has carnal relations after being "married" by a snowman; pagan pagan pagan -- and "Frosty the Snowman" (Frosty was not gathered in the manger) and of course "Rudolph," that plucky little secular interloper. And good King Wenceslas looked out upon the Feast of Stephen, which is Dec. 26, which would be: close but no cigar.
I bet we could keep the little bells, though. And we can keep the little drummer boy: He'll go marching through our dreams, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, with his drum.

My Wish List...
Okay, well, It just recently became the Christmas season here in my apartment. I have a small fake tree with colored lights and lots of ornaments. After all its not Christmas without a bright tree. But there is only one thing missing...presents to go under it!
Many people have been asking for requests of what to send over... So, I will just let you all know in case you get the urge to send your wonderful friend a small care package..and of course if you do, I promise to send you something back...something Bulgarian!
So here is my wish list....
pictures from home and any letters
Interesting Magazines...you would be surprised how I use them with teaching
Burned copies of any new music or movies I might like
HOME ALONE...my favorite x mas movie ever
Warm Socks or scarves...it is VERY cold here (and well, being a Cali girl, i am just not used to it.)
Lots of fun postcards from different cities... my students are very curious about the states
homemade goods in glad ware
chocolate chips so I can make yummy baked goods
Sunmaid original raisins...I am obsessed with good raisins
kraft mac and cheese
peanut butter
goldfish
maple syrup...you might want to bag it up so it doesn't explode in travel
tropical iced tea or crystal light
ranch dressing
anything else you want to surprise me with
Hopefully I was good this year and Santa can make it all the way to Bulgaria. I miss you all very much. Lots of love!
Also, here is my address. To send anything, do not declare more than $45 and write "no comercial value, for personal use only" on the box.

The Golden Girls....
You gotta love these ladies.
Dorothy - "I look like the mother of a Solid Gold dancer."
Sophia - "It's an old lady's dream come true."
Rose - "I dreamt all night I was a carburator, and I woke up exhausted."
Blanch - "No one ever believes me when I am telling the truth. It's the curse of every beautiful woman."
Here are some wonderful quotes from these fantastic ladies....
Dorothy: Blanche Are you sure you're pregnant
Blanche: I just did a home pregnancy test - it's right here.
Rose: It looks like a perfume sample
Dorothy: Put it behind your ears Rose.

Rose: Sophia what are you doing?
Sophia: What does it look like I'm doing I'm cleaning out my purse.
Rose: Sophia, why are you in such a bad mood?
Sophia: Excuse me Rose, I haven't had sex in fifteen years and its starting to get on my nerves.

Blanche: Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to relax in a hot, steamy bath with the water high enough to cover my perky bosoms....
Sophia: You're gonna lay in an inch of water!??

Blanche: I don't look right in American clothes , i have a more european Physique
Rose: Oh, In Europe, do they all have big butts, too?

Twinkle Lights...
I already thought Stara Zagora was a pretty rad place to live. But life just got a little better. They have hundreds and hundreds of twinkle lights!!! My favorite thing in the whole world. I am giddy from excitement.
Now I think I am going to decorate my terrace with lights. And so what if I am that weird American who leaves the lights up year round. This country could use a little cheery light. No need to be drab all the time.
YEAH FOR TWINKLE LIGHTS!!!!
